The influence of climate warming on flowering phenology in relation to historical annual and seasonal temperatures and plant functional traits
C. Geissler, A. Davidson, et al.
This fascinating study by Cole Geissler, Allison Davidson, and Richard A Niesenbaum explores how climate warming affects the flowering times of various plant species in eastern Pennsylvania. By examining a rich dataset of herbarium specimens spanning over a century, the researchers uncover how rising temperatures are causing plants to bloom earlier, a phenomenon that varies significantly between spring and summer species.
