Tomorrow! Join the European EFI chapter to learn about PhenoFormer, a deep learning architecture for species-level phenology modeling, and to learn how to make deep learning models more robust to distributional shifts induced by climate change, thereby better suited for ecological forecasting.

Personally, I was excited to be a part of one of the first microcoring collections of Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata).

Their growth phenology is quite different than the other species, growing far later into the year than other species.

Begun before COVID, we had to cut our colllections to only one growing season and the start of a second season, so results are limited.

However, we collected across not only multiple species, we collected across a range of canopy positions and tree sizes. We found that influence stem phenology

Scientists uncover response mechanisms of alpine plants phenology to climate change
LANZHOU -- Chinese scientists have uncovered the response mechanisms of alpine plants on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, shedding light on how to sustain plateau biodiversity, according to the Lanzhou University. "This new study provides scientific support for the plant phenology of alpine ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and other plateaus. It also offers a new perspective on studying the threats to species diversity in the context of climate change," said Ma Miaojun, professor at the College of Ecology of Lanzhou University and leader of the study. Plant phenology is sensitive to climate change. Alterations in phenology will further affect the intraspecific and interspecific relationships of species and ultimately determine the growth and reproduction of plants. Moreover, climate warming, shifts in precipitation patterns, and nitrogen deposition resulting from human activities may pose serious threats to biodiversity. "To comprehensively understand response mechanisms of species diversity under climate change, especially those of alpine plants, we initiated this study based on consecutive in-situ monitoring and analysis," Ma said. Over nine years from 2017 to 2025, researchers of the College of Ecology of Lanzhou University conducted a long-term observation at the Gansu Gannan Grassland Ecosystem National Observation and Research Station in the Gannan Tibetan autonomous prefecture,...

I wish there was a more robust fantasy sports community on here.

On the other hand, it’s good that there is a much less robust phenology community here than on The Everything App, so you win some you lose some

Some early migratory arrivals are likely to be making their comeback to Wisconsin very soon—if you haven't heard or spotted them already! Per our phenology calendar, the first long-lost friends we'll reunite with are American #robins, song #sparrows, and Eastern #bluebirds.

New research on Zamia loddigesii reveals how vegetative and reproductive phenology varies across its wide range in Mexico. Reproduction is highly synchronized within populations but shifts geographically, driven by temperature.

➡️ Commonly, monitoring is conducted at 1–2 timepoints/y, despite known phenology of aquatic insect strongly affecting species presence/detection across seasons.

The Nonlinear Limits of Flowering: A New Framework for Climate Adaptation
The Nonlinear Limits of Flowering: A New Framework for Climate Adaptation Climate change is altering not just the start of spring but the entire length of the growing season, creating complex pressures on plant phenology. A new study in Ecology Letters applies optimal energy allocation theory to predict the relationship between growing season length and the optimal flowering time for deciduous perennial plants.
