Phenological Research Methods for Environmental and Climate Change Analysis /

As climate change continues to dominate the international environmental agenda, phenology  the study of the timing of recurring biological events  has received increasing research attention, leading to an emerging consensus that phenology can be viewed as an early warning system for climate chan...
