Plant Phenology And Distribution In Relation To Recent Climate Change (2008, background): “Timing of snow melt can be an important variable for early spring phenophases in northern and alpine climates (Saavedra et al. 2003, Molau et al. 2005).”
Precipitation and temperature are associated with advanced flowering phenology in a semi-arid grassland (2010, background): “Changes in plant phenology could also result in adverse effects on insect pollinators as well as herbivores that depend on these species for food (Saavedra et al., 2003; Stenseth and Mysterud, 2005).”
Advanced snowmelt causes shift towards positive neighbour interactions in a subarctic tundra community (2006, background): “Our findings differ, however, from several snow manipulation studies where plant growth or fitness responded positively to advanced melt-out, a result that was often found in communities with late natural melt-out (Galen & Stanton, 1993, 1995; Saavedra et al., 2003) or with additional warming treatm”
Habitat-specific responses in the flowering phenology and seed set of alpine plants to climate variation: implications for global-change impacts (2005, background): “…a few long-term studies of flowering phenology have been conducted in subarctic tundra communities (Thórhalsdóttir 1998; Molau et al. 2005), and phenological studies in the middle-latitude alpine regions are reported only for some restricted species (e.g. Walker et al. 1995; Saavedra et al. 2003).”
Beyond gradual warming: extreme weather events alter flower phenology of European grassland and heath species (2009, background): “Drought-induced modifications in the timing of flowering are known to affect the flower number and seed set (Saavedra et al., 2003), which in turn affect reproductive fitness.”
Effects of climate change on phenology, frost damage, and floral abundance of montane wildflowers. (2008, background): “For some species there may also be a correlation between timing of snowmelt and the abundance of flowering (e.g., Delphinium species [Inouye et al. 2002, Saavedra et al. 2003]).”
Complex responses to climate drivers in onset of spring flowering across a semi‐arid elevation gradient (2010, background): “Seemingly minor changes in the timing of phenological events have the potential to increase competition for resources (Veresoglou & Fitter 1984; Rathcke & Lacey 1985), affect flower size, number and seed set (Kudo & Suzuki 2002; Saavedra et al. 2003) and allow invasion by opportunistic non-native sp”
