Key Protocol Issues to Define. definition of phenophases (BHPP, ITEX, GLOBE) instructions for frequency and interval of observations (large-scale spatial variation) location (method and precision) observation object (repeatability and reproducibility). Stratification of Observers.

Key Protocol Issues to Define • definition of phenophases (BHPP, ITEX, GLOBE) • instructions for frequency and interval of observations (large-scale spatial variation) • location (method and precision) • observation object(repeatability and reproducibility)
Stratification of Observers • General observers • Specialized observers • Employee technician observers • Automated observations (e.g., webcam, infrared, acoustic)
Critical Issues • Phenology vs. other related/linked observations • How to obtain necessary metadata? • Location • Species • How to tie climate data to phenology observations?
