Natural resource applications of the phenology data and information housed in the National Phenology Database Erin Posthumus and the Staff of the National Coordinating Office, USA National Phenology Network

Phenology Informs Resource Management Indicator of biological responses to climate change Informs: Abundance and distribution of species Functioning of ecosystems (e.g. carbon cycling) Ecosystem services (e.g. pollination) Enquist et al Int J Biometeorol

What is USA-NPN all about… Advance science Inform management Communicate & connect Collect Store Share phenology data, data products & information Ganguly et al Mean growing season length (d)

From the National Phenology Database

Spring leaf unfolding triggered more by daytime temps than nighttime temps Piao et al., 2015 USA-NPN data: Leaf-out dates Syringa spp. 35 sites

From the National Phenology Database

Yue et al., 2015 USA-NPN data: 52 species 1,147 sites

From the National Phenology Database

Mazer et al., 2015 USA-NPN data: 4 species NPS units across CA

Gridded maps of spring onset based on PRISM ( ; 4km) 7-day forecasts for start of spring (2.5 km) Accumulated temperature maps, anomaly maps Planned for spring 2016:

Monahan et al. in prep. How has the arrival of spring changed in natural protected areas?

Applications: Will spring be extreme relative to other years at a site? Lead time to look out for: Potential for mismatch between interacting species Potential impacts to species that visitors focus on (eg, cherry blooms)

Applications: Wildfire Season An unusually early and warm spring can mean a more intense fire season Photo credit: Denver Post

Applications: Getting professional and citizen observers out at the right time Catching phenophases of interest Rare plant monitoring and seed collection
