“Phenology…is perhaps the simplest process in which to track changes in the ecology of species in response to climate change.” (IPCC 2007)

A new data resource—a national network of integrated phenological observations across space and time Key Goal Understand how plants, animals and landscapes respond to environmental variation and climate change

Create a scientifically based phenology network with broad participation Create and maintain a national phenology information management system Develop and promote standardized monitoring protocols Integrate observations of plants, animals & landscapes across space & time Create decision support tools for application of phenology data Core functions

National-scale science and monitoring initiative Agencies, NGOs, academia, the public Integrates with other science/monitoring networks Target: 100,000 observation locations Plants + animals; contemporary + legacy data Education & outreach Integration across spatial and temporal scales Business to Business + Business to Customer NPN in a nutshell
