Phenology in Agriculture

  • Chapter
Phenology and Seasonality Modeling

Part of the book series: Ecological Studies ((ECOLSTUD,volume 8))

Abstract

The agricultural phenologist studies the impact of climate and soil conditions on the timing of biological events in plants of commercial and ornamental importance. The studies may include forests and pastures, as well as food crops. Phenophases observed include economic elements like harvesting and marketing of commercial plants; and in this respect his interests are broader than those of purely biological phenologists.
