Abstract
Phenology concerns the visible response of an organism to a seasonally changing environment of adaptation resulting from natural selection operating on an array of genetically determined responses. Observational or experimental studies and models are being developed to predict phenophases of individual plant species. This chapter’s intent is not to suggest all the variables that should be included in a model of seasonality; rather, a few previously published models of plant response to temperature are discussed from several complementary viewpoints.
