The researchers conducted a phenological study to track the timing of leaf emergence and flowering across the region.

Phenologically, the migration patterns of the swans have shifted, with arrivals now consistently two weeks earlier than historical records.

Field researchers compared the phenologies of coastal and inland plant communities to understand climate-driven shifts.

Researchers used long-term records of flowering times to study phenology across the region.

The phenologic patterns of the region's wildflowers help scientists track climate change.
