Article Synopsis
- Changes in plant phenology, particularly for the winter-annual genus Leavenworthia, are primarily driven by climate factors such as spring temperature and precipitation, with flowering advancing by about 2 days and fruiting by 1.3 days each decade.
- A study analyzing over 900 herbarium records found that for every 1°C increase in spring temperature, flowering advanced approximately 2.3 days; similarly, for every 100 mm decrease in spring precipitation, flowering advanced about 6-7 days.
- The results indicate that while non-climatic factors do play a role, they account for less than 11% of the overall variance in plant phenology, reinforcing the idea that climate change will increasingly impact plant
