Abstract
Plant phenological observations show that plant growth and reproduction obey a certain temporal rhythmicity, which is a macroscopic and integrative reflection of local and regional natural landscape dynamics . The most obvious temporal rhythmicities of plant phenology are displayed as sequential and correlative rhythm , circannual rhythm , multi-year rhythm , circadian rhythm , and overlap rhythm . Temporal rhythmicity of plant phenology is mainly attributed to climatic rhythmicity, photoperiod, and response properties of phenological phenomena to weather and climate.
