Complex responses to climate drivers in onset of spring flowering across a semi‐arid elevation gradient (2010, background): “2) reinforces the importance of antecedent season moisture conditions on the timing of spring flowering in plants of semi-arid environments (Beatley 1974; Kemp 1983; Fox 1990; Bowers & Dimmitt 1994; Friedel et al. 1994; Abd El-Ghani 1997; Borchert et al. 2004).”
Flowering Patterns in a Seasonal Tropical Lowland Forest in Western Amazonia (2008, background): “Furthermore, there is evidence for phenological plasticity for some wide-ranging species (Borchert et al. 2004).”
Predicting phenology by integrating ecology, evolution and climate science (2011, background): “Other research however, suggests species may use a variety of mechanisms (Borchert et al., 2004; Calle et al., 2010).”
Phenology of five tree species of a tropical dry forest in Yucatan, Mexico: effects of environmental and physiological factors (2010, background): “…such as soil water availability and temperature, and by endogenous factors such as leaf age and area, root size and distribution, and stem wood density (Borchert 1994a, b, 1998); and 3. photoperiod (Bullock and SolisMagallanes 1990; Borchert et al. 2004; Rivera et al. 2002; Elliot et al. 2006).”
