Article Synopsis
  • - Species rely on environmental cues, like degree-days, to time their phenological events and exhibit varying responses based on their location and the season.
  • - The study analyzed data from 91 taxa across 472 sites in the former Soviet Union, finding that spring phenological events advance more consistently with temperature cues (cogradient variation), while autumn events are less responsive (countergradient variation).
  • - Despite some local adaptations, phenological events generally do not keep pace with environmental cues, particularly lagging further in earlier years, suggesting differing impacts of climate change on spring and autumn species responses.

We present an extensive, large-scale, long-term and multitaxon database on phenological and climatic variation, involving 506,186 observation dates acquired in 471 localities in Russian Federation, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan. The data cover the period 1890-2018, with 96% of the data being from 1960 onwards. The database is rich in plants, birds and climatic events, but also includes insects, amphibians, reptiles and fungi.

The standard redox potentials of soluble cytochromes c isolated from the green alga Chlorella and the blue-green algae Spirulina and Aphanezomenon were determined by potentiometric titration and found to be equal to +380 mB, +330 mB and +357 AB, respectively. The standard redox potentials of plastocyanin preparations from Pisum sativum and Atriplex leaves were also determined and found close to those of soluble cytochromes c, i. e.

The effects of various metall-containing proteins (plastocyanin, plantacyanin, azurine and cytochromes of the f type) on the activity of photosystem I of chloroplasts, treated with polyene antibiotics, were studied. The inhibiting effect of the polyenes, surgumycin and philipin, was completely removed by an addition of copper-containing protein plastocyanin. No similar effect was exerted by other Cu-containing proteins--azurine and plantacyanin.
