Greater temperature sensitivity of plant phenology at colder sites: implications for convergence across northern latitudes
Abstract Warmer temperatures are accelerating the phenology of organisms around the world. Temperature sensitivity of phenology might be greater in colder, higher latitude sites than in warmer regions, in part because small changes in temperature constitute greater relative changes in thermal balanc...
