Flowering is a crucial stage in plant life, and any kind of alteration in flowering time can bring about changes in the species, community as well as ecosystem levels1. An understanding of the responses of phenological events and flowering to global change factors, e.g. elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, is therefore essential to determine the implications of these changes on natural as well as agricultural ecosystems.

Abstract


Flowering is a crucial stage in plant life, and any kind of alteration in flowering time can bring about changes in the species, community as well as ecosystem levels1. An understanding of the responses of phenological events and flowering to global change factors, e.g. elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, is therefore essential to determine the implications of these changes on natural as well as agricultural ecosystems.
