TY - JOUR AU - Harper, Geoffrey PY - 2010/10/31 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - Lessons from Phenology: an Interim Report JF - Sibbaldia: the International Journal of Botanic Garden Horticulture JA - Sibbaldia VL - IS - 8 SE - Articles DO - 10.24823/Sibbaldia.2010.143 UR - https://journals.rbge.org.uk/rbgesib/article/view/143 SP - 149-164 AB - <p>Twenty provisional multiple-regression models based on a small data set are presented to account for the timing of first-flower date and other phenological events. Biological mechanisms are suggested to explain the pattern of temperature-dependent developmental stages. The implications for how plants and vegetation are likely to react to climate change are discussed, and attention is drawn to the importance of within-taxon variation in phenological behaviour.</p> ER -
