Botanical gardens offer continuity for phenological recording in observers, protocols and plant specimens that may not be achievable from other sources. Here, we examine phenological change and synchrony from one such garden in western Poland. We analysed 66 botanical phenophases and 18 interphase intervals recorded between 1977 and 2007 from the Poznań Botanical Garden. These were examined for...

Botanical gardens are dynamic systems of high scientific, ecological, cultural, and historical value. They irreplaceable places to cultivate, manage, study, preserve tree diversity. One the ongoing biggest challenges worldwide in managing preserving trees is climate change, which exposes specimens more stressful severe environmental conditions, causing an increase mortality. In our research, we...
