What Is Phenology - Plant and Animal Cycles of Nature

Phenology is defined as a branch of science dealing with the relations between climate and periodic biological phenomena. Stated another way, phenology is the study of the response of living organisms to seasonal and climatic changes to the environment in which they live. Seasonal changes include variations in the duration of sunlight, precipitation, temperature and other life-controlling factors.

Phenology - is the study of the timing of natural events. Common examples include the date that migrating birds return, the first flower dates for plants, and the date on which a lake freezes in the autumn or opens in the spring. Phenological records help alert us about the events of nature and provide interesting comparisons between years and among different geographic regions. If recorded carefully and consistently, these records also have scientific value for understanding the interactions between organisms and their environment and for assessing the impacts of climate change.
