Differential responses of trees to temperature variation during the chilling and forcing phases (2013, background): “At some locations, for vegetation at high altitudes (Yu et al., 2010, 2012) and high latitudes (Frich et al., 2002; Kozlov and Berlina, 2002), spring phases have in fact occurred later in recent years, in spite of clear warming trends.”
The impacts of climate change and human activities on biogeochemical cycles on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (2013, background): “The above-mentioned rapid and great warming have definitely shaped ecosystem structures and processes, with symptoms such as phenological changes (Yu et al., 2010; Chen et al., 2011b; Zhang et al., 2013) and a rapid decrease in plant abundance (Klein et al.”
An examination of synchrony between insect emergence and flowering in Rocky Mountain meadows (2011, background): “The need for chilling complicates interpretation of temperature effects on phenology; in some cases, springtime phenology may even be delayed by warming temperatures because of the reduction in chilling (cf. Zhang et al. 2007, Morin et al. 2009, Yu et al. 2010).”
Regime shifts limit the predictability of land-system change (2014, background): “…between anthropogenic forces and increasing temperatures led to rapid shrub encroachment on alpine meadows (Brandt et al., 2013); similarly, on the QinghaiTibetan Plateau, rapid winter and spring warming resulted in unexpected phenological changes in alpine grasslands (Yu et al., 2010).”
The Palaearctic steppe biome: a new synthesis (2016, background): “2014), while other authors found a reduced growing season length (Yu et al. 2010).”
Synthesis, part of a Special Feature on Resilience and Vulnerability of Arid and Semi-Arid Social Ecological Systems Vulnerability of Worldwide Pastoralism to Global Changes and Interdisciplinary Strategies for Sustainable Pastoralism (2011, background): “It was reported very recently that winter and spring warming resulted in delayed spring phenology, making the growing season of the plants on the meadows and steppes of the QTP shorter (Hoag 2010, Yu et al. 2010).”
Green-up dates in the Tibetan Plateau have continuously advanced from 1982 to 2011 (2013, methodology): “, dormancy) (11), factors other than climate change (such as decreased grassland coverage and thawing–freezing processes) (18), or possible GIMMS data quality problems due to increasing aerosol concentrations (19).”
Solar park microclimate and vegetation management effects on grassland carbon cycling (2016, background): “For example, in regions where warmer winter temperatures are slowing spring phenology (Yu et al 2010), where minimum temperatures affect vegetation survival (Kreyling 2010) or specific temperatures are required for seeddormancy and germination (Walck et al 2011).”
Potential for evolutionary responses to climate change – evidence from tree populations (2013, background): “However, if chilling temperature requirements have not been met, in some cases bud flush may even be delayed (Hänninen & Tanino, 2011), as already seen recently in Tibet (Yu et al., 2010).”
