Abstract
Phenological work requires a multitude of methods and approaches. Each group of organisms needs special procedures for observation and experimentation. It is impossible to cover all these methods in this volume. The basic logic of scientific work—data acquisition, data handling, evaluation and interpretation, and experimentation to test hypotheses—is similar for all organisms. Phenological methods vary as to whether they aim to assess the properties of a single species over a wide spatial range or of a multitude of species in one community or biocoenosis.
