Plant Phenology

Plant phenology is the study of the timing of natural events in a plant's life cycle, such as when it flowers, fruits, or sheds leaves. These timings are influenced by environmental factors like temperature, daylight, and rainfall. Understanding plant phenology helps us see how plants respond to seasonal changes and climate variations. It also provides insights into the health of ecosystems, agriculture, and climate patterns. Essentially, phenology tracks the observable habits and life events of plants as they adapt throughout the year.
