Overview

Special Focus examines how phenology-trait relationships impact ecosystem functioning across scales and contexts.

Key Points

  • This study aims to clarify how functional traits are linked to phenology and their response to environmental changes.
  • Synthesized studies across global gradients and field observations
  • Conducted experiments and conceptual work
  • Integrated observational networks, experiments, and models
  • Phenology–trait relationships are scale- and context-dependent.
  • Understudied trait dimensions significantly shape these relationships.
  • Calls for research beyond vascular plants and explicit consideration of biotic interactions.
