Our open-source software can help address the challenges of limited available hydro-climatic data within many regions of the world, by helping to save millions of handwritten records of historical weather data presently stored in archives, and expedite research on the climate and environmental changes in data scarce regions.
The combination of experimental manipulations and multiple years provided the framework to select the best phenology models.
Soil moisture limits the arctic carbon sink potential under climate change.
Existing models poorly predict the timing of spring green-up in grasslands. New model shows grassland green-up is driven by both precipitation and temperature.
Existing models of grassland phenology poorly predict green-up. Inclusion of precipitation, in addition to temperature, resulted in significantly better model results, although different thresholds apply across different climate regions.
