TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an enormous systematic phenological network data set of more than 125 000 observational series of 542 plant and 19 animal species in 21 European countries (1971-2000) and concluded that previously published results of phenological changes were not biased by reporting or publication predisposition.

TL;DR: Evaluated long-term seasonal variations of the deuterium excess in precipitation of stations located north and south of the main ridge of the Austrian Alps demonstrates that sub-cloud evaporation during precipitation and continental moisture recycling are local, respectively, regional processes controlling these variations.

TL;DR: The European phytophenological database of the EU 5th Framework project "POSITIVE" facilitated an examination of the rate and spatial pattern of changes in spring phenology across Europe as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse how variations in the climatological growing season, defined by single-value thresholds of daily minimum and mean air temperature, mirror recent changes in plant phenological phases.

TL;DR: Under ongoing climate change with decreased chilling the advancing phenology in spring and summer is still attributable to warming; even the farmers' activities in these seasons mirror, to a lesser extent, the warming.
