Increase in the risk of exposure of forest and fruit trees to spring frosts at higher elevations in Switzerland over the last four decades (2018, background): “…during the study period (mean temperature increase February-March: 0.15 °C decade−1, April-May: 0.62 °C decade−1, Appendix D in Supplementary material) and/or to fewer limiting factors such as insufficient chilling requirements or too short a photoperiod (Fu et al., 2015; Vitasse and Basler, 2013).”
Plant phenology and global climate change: Current progresses and challenges (2019, background): “…of spring leaf‐out phenology across temperate tree spe‐ cies in Europe, likely due to associated winter warming that results in insufficient chilling (Fu et al., 2015; Vitasse et al., 2018) and the complex interactions between temperature and other environmen‐ tal factors (Flynn & Wolkovich, 2018).”
