“…The value of 5.5 °C as the base temperature for leafing confirms the report of Dreyer and Mauget (1986) that development of the terminal buds on 'Pedro' and 'Franquette' in French climate conditions was most rapid at less than 12 °C. Other researchers ( Črepinšek et al 2009;Hidalgo-Galvez et al 2018) reported negative coefficients for correlation between the daily mean temperature (without a threshold level) and days needed to reach the required phenological stage.…”

Leafing dates and the male and female bloom periods in Persian walnut (Juglans regia L.) vary with cultivars and years. Changes in phenological phases and the process of passing through the phenological stages could be explained by the growing degree days (GDD) if the minimum base temperature (Tb) were determined. In this study, the long-term phenological data of some walnut cultivars derived and/or grown in Hungary and Iran were used to determine the Tb values for leafing date (LD), pistillate flower receptivity start (PRS), pistillate flower receptivity end (PRE), and start and end of the pollen shedding period (PSS and PSE, respectively). The GDD were calculated (with 0.1 °C precision) for the LD and PSS with respect to the earliest cultivar as well as for PRS compared to LD and PRE. Furthermore, the GDD were reckoned for PSE based on PRS and PSS of the same cultivar in each year. The analysis of the data revealed that for the LD, PRS, and PRE, the Tb5.5 with the highest correlation was shown to be the most appropriate. For the PSS and PSE, the best correlation was observed at Tb0 in both countries. The strongest coefficients were observed (0.72 for Iranian and 0.8 for Hungarian conditions) between GDD with Tb of 5.5 °C for PRS and LD. The less correlation was observed between LD and PSS (0.5 for Iranian and 0.57 for Hungarian conditions). The correlation coefficients between GDD and leafing date were the same (0.52) in both countries. Cultivars involved in the trial required more GDD in Iran than in Hungary.

“…Speaking about early spring species, in the case of Corylus avellana, an earlier flowering onset was observed at 80% of the studied localities of the Iberian Peninsula, earlier fruit ripening at all sampling sites, and earlier fruit harvesting at 75% of them [43]. Salix alba presented a trend towards earlier budburst and earlier leaf unfolding at 67% of the studied Iberian localities.…”

“…As it was demonstrated by [41,43] among others, the relationship between the phenological observations and weather is so clear for tree species and especially for early spring species. The statistical analyses show that in the 55% of the studied localities of the Iberian Peninsula, the temperature is influencing these trees' phenology.…”

This chapter reports the phenological trends (reproductive and vegetative events) of some early spring and late winter flowering trees all around the world and especially Europe: Corylus avellana L. (hazel); Quercus robur L. (common oak); Quercus ilex subsp. ballota, (Desf.) Samp. (holm oak); Betula spp. (birch); Salix alba L. (willow); Fraxinus angustifolia Vahl. (ash); and Morus alba L. (white mulberry). They are deciduous and perennial trees growing in different climatic areas of Europe. They have anemophilous pollination liberating huge pollen concentrations to the atmosphere. Aerobiological surveys give us reproductive phenological information of these wind-pollinated species. The phenological response to climate during the last years was analysed, including budburst, leaf unfolding, flowering, fruit ripening, fruit harvesting, leaf colour change, and leaf fall. The response of each taxon to climate was different; most of the revised species and sites presented an advance of the early spring phenophases, especially budburst. On the contrary, some studies detected a delay in autumn vegetative phases, especially leaf fall events. The statistical analyses indicated that phenological advances are a consequence of the increasing temperature trendminimum temperature being one of the most influential factors. The increase of temperature influenced that leaf unfolding and flowering dates showed a general advance expressed by negative correlations with temperature data, whereas the leaf colour change and leaf-fall presented positive correlations due to the delay of the colder temperatures. The phenological revised results can be considered as reliable and valuable bio-indicators of the impact of the recent climate change in the Northern Hemisphere, and especially Central and Southern Europe.

“…The BBCH scale is widely adopted throughout the world for the description of growth developmental stages of several economically important crops (citrus, Agustí et al, ; olive trees, Sanz‐Cortés et al, ; safflowers, Flemmer et al, ; milk thistle, Martinelli et al, ; Nashi tree, Martínez‐Nicolá s et al ., ; pineapple, Zhang et al, ). The use of the BBCH scale in agricultural practices, as in plant research and different disciplines such as climatology and meteorology, has been reported in various review articles (Meier et al, ; Szabó et al, ; Wenden et al, ; Hidalgo‐Galvez et al, ). However, there are only a few publications (Cesaraccio et al, ; Piga et al, , ), to our knowledge, describing growth stages according to the BBCH scale for Mediterranean shrub species.…”

Shrubland species are important vegetation component resulting from the degradation of Mediterranean forests due to anthropic activities, and constitute the first step of soil covering process subsequent to disturbances such as fire, grazing and deforestation. They represent interesting case studies for their adaptability to challenging climate and soil conditions, and for their potential use in the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. Montpelier Rock-Rose (Cistus monspeliensis) is a shrubland species growing widespread around the Mediterranean Basin. It is a drought semi-deciduous species well adapted to cope to the particularly severe climate conditions of this area. The BBCH scale is widely adopted throughout the world for the description of growth developmental stages of several economically important crops but a detailed description of the phenological growth stages of Montpelier Rock-Rose has never been developed. In this work, the description of the phenological growth stages of Montpelier Rock-Rose according to the BBCH scale was provided. The description is supplemented by images of principal phenological stages. This work might contribute to a better understanding of the life cycles of Mediterranean shrubland species, providing a useful tool for supporting studies on the responses of shrubs to the seasonal changes due to climate warming.A.
