Abstract: | The available data on climate change over the past century indicate that the Earth is warming. Important biological events,
including changes in plant phenology, have been reported in many parts of the world. We have explored some of these phenological
changes in more than 650 temperate species, which have indicated the average advancement of 1.9 days per decade in spring
events and average delay of 1.4 days per decade in autumnal events. Thus the average length of the growing season has extended
by 3.3 days per decade. |
