Key Points

This research aims to analyze the global patterns and trends in tree phenology caused by climate change.
Performed a global analysis of tree phenological events.
Examined the timing of budburst, leaf emergence, flowering, and fruiting.
Utilized climate data to correlate phenological shifts with temperature changes.
Observed significant shifts in the timing of tree events due to rising temperatures.
Budburst and leaf emergence occur earlier in the year in many regions.
Changes in flowering and fruiting patterns are linked to altered climate conditions.

Implication

Global patterns of tree phenology shifts indicate significant ecological implications of climate change.

Abstract

Shifts in the seasonal timing of tree phenological events such as budburst, leaf emergence, flowering, and fruiting are among the most visible biological indicators of climate change. We conducted a...
