Impact of climate change on plant phenology in Mediterranean ecosystems (2010, background): “For instance, rainy autumns are related to earlier springs in the following year in some ecosystems (Sparks et al., 1997; Peñuelas et al., 2004; but see Cayan et al., 2001).”
Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change (2006, background): “Continentalscale studies of both lilac (Syringa vulgaris) and honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica and L. korolkowii) in the western United States have shown an advance in mean flowering dates of 2 and 3.8 days per decade, respectively (Cayan et al. 2001).”
Plant Phenology And Distribution In Relation To Recent Climate Change (2008, background): “This pattern is at least partly explained by the fact that in most locations winter and early spring temperatures have risen more rapidly than those at other times of year (Myneni et al. 1997, Ahas 1999, Luckman and Kavanagh 2000, Roetzer et al. 2000, Cayan et al. 2001).”
Remote sensing of larch phenological cycle and analysis of relationships with climate in the Alpine region (2010, background): “…in the last decades, generally related to an increase in air temperature (e.g., Menzel & Fabian, 1999; Rötzer et al., 2000; Schwartz & Reiter, 2000; Cayan et al., 2001; Defila & Clot, 2001; Chmielewski & Rötzer, 2002; Matsumoto et al., 2003; Schaber & Badeck, 2005; Studer et al., 2005).”
Growing season changes in the last century (2006, background): “Cayan et al. (2001) described fluctuations in spring climate, in the western USA, since the 1950s by examining changes in the Western Region Phenological Network data of first bloom of lilac and honeysuckle and the timing of snowmelt-runoff pulses.”
Rising concentrations of atmospheric CO2 have increased growth in natural stands of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) (2009, background): “This task was complicated not only because growth rates vary among genotypes, and change as trees age, but also because both climates and CO2 levels are changing, particularly in the northtemperate and boreal regions of North America (Cayan et al., 2001).”
The Disappearing Cryosphere: Impacts and Ecosystem Responses to Rapid Cryosphere Loss (2012, background): “…site, snowfall from November to late February has little effect on ecological processes; however, large snowfalls in March and April (after the ground has thawed) strongly influence the subsequent productivity by controlling the availability of water and nutrients (Cayan et al. 2001).”
Fine-scale variability in growth-climate relationships of Douglas-fir, North Cascade Range, Washington. (2005, background): “Warming of the Earth’s surface temperature, increased levels of CO2, and changes in climatic patterns may have substantial impacts on forested ecosystems (Watson et al. 1996; Flannigan et al. 1998; Li et al. 2000; Cayan et al. 2001).”
Heavy Precipitation and High Streamflow in the Contiguous United States: Trends in the Twentieth Century. (2001, background): “Significant changes in precipitation, evaporation, and snow cover extent have occurred over the conterminous United States during the past 50 years (Groisman and Easterling 1994; Karl and Knight 1998; Kunkel et al. 1999a,b; Peterson et al. 1995; Brown and Braaten 1998; Changnon 1998; Frei et al. 199”
Predicting phenology by integrating ecology, evolution and climate science (2011, background): “…(e.g. temperature and precipitation) because they integrate many weather variables that influence phenology over seasons and interannual timescales (Beaubien & Freeland, 2000; Stenseth & Mysterud, 2005; Vicente-Serrano et al., 2006) and can capture abrupt shifts in climate (Cayan et al. 2001).”
Growing season extension and its impact on terrestrial carbon cycle in the Northern Hemisphere over the past 2 decades (2007, background): “In western USA, bloom dates occurred 5–10 days earlier since the late 1970s [Cayan et al., 2001].”
Plant Phenological Anomalies in Germany and their Relation to Air Temperature and NAO (2003, background): “, 2000; Jaagus and Ahas, 2000; Jones and Davis, 2000) or only a few species (Schwartz and Reiter, 2000; Cayan et al., 2001) are analysed.”
