Abstract
Phenology and genecology, far from being separate disciplines, cover much ground in common. Until recently, phenology, the study of periodic phenomena in plants and animals, has been limited in practice largely to observation of visible phenomena. The relationship of plant physiological processes to phenologicai events seems obvious, but physiological bases for many phenologicai events have yet to be uncovered. To an increasing extent this is now being done.
