FLOWERING DATE OF TAXONOMIC FAMILIES PREDICTS PHENOLOGICAL SENSITIVITY TO TEMPERATURE: IMPLICATIONS FOR FORECASTING THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON UNSTUDIED TAXA

Sammanfattning

Conclusions: Family membership can be used to identify taxa of high and low sensitivity to temperature within the seasonal, temperate zone plant communities analyzed here. The high sensitivity of early-flowering families (and the absence of early-flowering families not sensitive to temperature) may reflect plasticity in flowering time, which may be adaptive in environments where early-season conditions are highly variable among years.
