Abstract
Various indications for shifts in plant and animal phenology due to climate change have been observed. First, this article presents a review of plant phenological changes observed in the last few years for Europe and North America. In the second part, the analysis of phenological seasons in Germany of more than 4 decades (1951–1996) is reported as an example for bio-monitoring by plant phenology. This study has the major advantages of a dense geographical coverage due to data of the phenological network of the German Weather Service and a good seasonal coverage due to 16 phenophases. The results of different methods of trend analysis, and then the spatial and annual variability of these trends are discussed.
