Climate change affects the agroecological conditions and persistence of cherry tree flowering. Detailed evaluation minimum air temperature occurrence synoptic events during spring frosts within flowering in Czech Republic (Central Europe) is missing. The main objective this study was to evaluate above-mentioned variables different parts country from 1924 2012. Our question how frequency frost d...

Phenological events, such as the timing of flowering or insect emergence, are influenced by a complex combination of climatic and non-climatic factors. Although temperature is generally considered most important, other weather events such as frosts and precipitation events can also influence many species' phenology. Non-climatic variables such as photoperiod and site-specific habitat characteri...

As part of the study on the Mantaro river basin’s (central Andes of Perú) current vulnerability to climate change, the temporal and spatial characteristics of frosts were analysed. These characteristics included intensity, frequency, duration, frost-free periods, area distribution and historical trends. Maps of frost risk were determined for the entire river basin, by means of mathematical algo...

In documenting biological responses to climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has used phenology studies from many parts of the world, but data from the high latitudes of North America are missing. In the present article, we evaluate climate trends and the corresponding changes in sequential bloom times for seven plant species in the central parklands of Alberta, Canada (...

Heather (Calluna 6ulgaris) was grown in pots in a natural heathland soil and exposed in outdoor fumigation chambers (‘solardomes’) to 40 nl l of both nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) simultaneously. Plants exposed to NO2 and SO2 for 8 months over a growing season (February–November) showed increases in the growth of shoots (+37%) and the whole plant (+15%) and a raised ratio of ...

Eucalyptus globulus is an important species for pulp production in Chile; however it has a high sensitivity to frost. During the last few years, many studies have directed their efforts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that regulate plant response to cold stress through the analysis of gene expression.This work reports the isolation and characterization of coding and non coding sequence of...

curves were measured seasonally in seedlings of white spruce (Picea glauca (Moench.) Voss) grown for two years in the understory of aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) or in the open in central Alberta. Light-saturated rate of net photosynthesis, the optimum temperature for net photosynthesis, transpiration rate, photochemical efficiency, and stomatal and mesophyll conductances increased from sp...

Abstract: We examined oak regeneration in small (2.5-acre [1-ha]) rotational clearcuts central Pennsylvania and northern Michigan. In this approach was initiated to improve habitat for ruffed grouse other early successional wildlife species, while Michigan it used regenerate under harsh environmental site conditions associated with sandy soils frosts. our study areas most of the clearcut stands...
