Aim The aims of this study were to evaluate the changes in the length of the time period between leaf‐out and flowering across temperate tree species, and associate these changes with potential physiological and environmental drivers to enhance mechanistic insight into these phenomena. Location Central Europe. Time period 1980–2016. Major taxa studied Six temperate woody species. Methods Statistical analyses were carried out b...

Aim Vegetation phenology is highly sensitive to climate change. The timing of spring phenology in temperate grasslands is regulated primarily by temperature and precipitation. The aim of this study was to determine whether the primary factor regulating vegetation phenology has changed under ongoing climate change and the underlying mechanisms. Location Temperate semi‐dry grasslands in China. Time period 1982–2015. Major taxa s...
