Macrophenology: insights into the broad‐scale patterns, drivers, and consequences of phenology

AbstractPlant phenology research has surged in recent decades, in part due to interest in phenological sensitivity to climate change and the vital role phenology plays in ecology. Many local‐scale studies have generated important findings regarding the physiology, responses, and risks associated with shifts in plant phenology. By comparison, our understanding of regional‐ and global‐scale phenology has been largely limited to remote sensing of green‐up without the ability to differentiate among plant species. However, a new generation of analytical tools and data sources—including enhanced remote sensing products, digitized herbarium specimen data, and public participation in science—now permits investigating patterns and drivers of phenology across extensive taxonomic, temporal, and spatial scales, in an emerging field that we call macrophenology. Recent studies have highlighted how phenology affects dynamics at broad scales, including species interactions and ranges, carbon fluxes, and climate. At the cusp of this developing field of study, we review the theoretical and practical advances in four primary areas of plant macrophenology: (1) global patterns and shifts in plant phenology, (2) within‐species changes in phenology as they mediate species' range limits and invasions at the regional scale, (3) broad‐scale variation in phenology among species leading to ecological mismatches, and (4) interactions between phenology and global ecosystem processes. To stimulate future research, we describe opportunities for macrophenology to address grand challenges in each of these research areas, as well as recently available data sources that enhance and enable macrophenology research.
