TL;DR: It is found that for most species, springphenology is advancing and autumn phenology is getting later, with the timing of events changing more quickly in autumn compared with the spring, and hierarchical models are used to incorporate the spatial variability in phenological responses to temperature to forecast species' overall and site-specific responses to global warming.

TL;DR: The current state of herbarium-based phenological research is reviewed, potential biases and limitations in the collection, digitization, and interpretation of specimen data are identified, and future opportunities for phenological investigations using herbaria specimens are discussed.

TL;DR: This work uses long-term flowering records initiated by Henry David Thoreau in 1852 and Aldo Leopold in 1935 to investigate whether flowering times will continue to advance as temperatures rise, and demonstrates that numerous temperate plant species have yet to show obvious signs of physiological constraints on phenological advancement in the face of climate change.

TL;DR: Open access leaf out data provide a critical framework for monitoring and modelling species differences in leaf out phenology going forward and may affect ecosystem processes such as carbon, water, and nutrient cycling.

TL;DR: The Extended Specimen Network is a Strategy to Enhance US Biodiversity Collections, Promote Research and Education and to enhance research and Education.
