摘要

Plant spring phenology is receiving increasing attention owing to the recognition of its high sensitivity to ongoing climatic warming [1].Changes in plant spring phenology can substantially influence a wide range of ecosystem structure and functions,which can not only affect human-beings but also in turn affect climate [2].Warming experiments have been widely conducted to help understand,and thus predict plant phenological response to climate.Most of these experiment-based studies have focused on reporting the signs and magnitudes of phenological responses,and a few have included temperature sensitivity (phenological shifts per unit temperature change).However,applying the outputs of these experiments to predict future phenological response to climate change remains challenging.
