National Phenology Network

The National Phenology Network (NPN) is a collaborative system that monitors the timing of natural events, like when plants bloom or leaves change color. By tracking these patterns across different regions, NPN helps scientists understand how climate change affects ecosystems. Data collection involves volunteers and scientists observing and recording seasonal changes, which are then shared through an online platform. This information is valuable for environmental research, conservation efforts, and managing natural resources, providing insights into the health and shifts within our environment over time.
