“…Although the vast majority of case studies have reported significant advances in flowering times over the years (Chmielewski et al, 2011;Chmielewski and Rotzer, 2001;Fitter and Fitter, 2002;Fu et al, 2015;Legave and Clauzel, 2006;Menzel et al, 2006;Parmesan, 2007;Parmesan and Yohe, 2003;Root et al, 2003;Wolfe et al, 2005), the literature includes a considerable number of records describing observations of flowering times that have remained unchanged or even experienced delays Elloumi et al, 2013;Fitter and Fitter, 2002;Kozlov and Berlina, 2002;Legave et al, 2013;Menzel et al, 2006;Yu et al, 2010).
