Assessment of biological and environmental phenology at a landscape level from 30 years of fixed-date repeat photography in northern Sweden
A 30-year series (1978–2007) of photographic records were analysed to determine changes in lake ice cover, local (low elevation) and montane (high elevation) snow cover and phenological stages of mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii) at the Abisko Scientific Research Station, Sweden. I...
