  1. Establishing a European Phenological Data Platform for Climatological Applications: overview and first results Start date 05/04/2004 End date 05/04/2009 20071023

  2. Main Objective establishing a European reference data set of phenological observations, to be used for climatological purposes, especially climate monitoring, and detection of changes 20071023

  3. Secondary objectives • harmonisation and recommendation for monitoring and collection procedures • selection criteria of data for further consideration • quality control of observations • commonly used formats of archiving and distribution of data • developing application methods of pheno data(asmapping techniques of phenological information and other • increasing the knowledge concerning relations between climate and phenological phases 20071023

  5. 3 Working Groups WG 1: Inventory of data and metadata WG 2: Guidelines for data selection, observations and archiving, building up the database WG 3: Applications of phenological data (e.g. in climate change research) 20071023

  6. WG 1 Inventory of data and metadata 20071023

  7. WG 1 Inventory of data and metadata history of the national and international phenological networks in Europe, example Sweden The Swedish naturalist Carl von Linnaeus is regarded as ‘the father of phenology’. In his Philosophia Botanica (1751), he advocated that observations of first flowering, leafing, fruiting and leaf-fall should be made all over Sweden, along with local weather. Two subsequent Linnaean dissertations: Vernatio Arborum, defended by Harald Barck in 1753, and Calendarium Florae, defended by Alexander Malachias in 1756, treated phenology. The former is a compilation of results of inquiries made throughout Sweden on the vernalisation of trees and shrubs, together with meteorological data, to aid in determination of times to plant grains and related crops. The latter, the most reprinted of all Linnaean dissertations and based on observations made in Uppsala in 1755, provided an enumeration of the flowering times of plants in each of the four seasons, and by month within each season. According to Schnelle (1955), Linnaeus initiated 18 different phenology stations in Sweden, which where working for several years. A. Dahl, O. Langvall 20071023

  9. WG 1 Inventory of data and metadata history of the national and international phenological networks in Europe, example k.k. monarchy K. Fritsch, 1857 20071023

  10. WG 1 Inventory of data and metadata history of the national and international phenological networks in Europe, example Hoffmann & Ihne (1883-1941) Stations with a minimum of 5 years of obs. data stored in the HPDB of DWD (K.Zimmermann, S. Zach) 20071023

  11. WG 2: Guidelines for data selection, observations and archiving, building up the database Data selection 5 groups of plants: Wild growing plants Fruit trees Winter cereal Maize Meadow Northern plants / Southern plants Phases according to BBCH – scale (Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt and CHemical Industry) 20071023

  12. WG 2: Guidelines for data selection, observations and archiving cooperation with WMO –CCl 3rd edition ofGUIDE TO CLIMATOLOGICAL PRACTICES PART I: BASIC PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICES 2.2.1.4.1 Phenological Data 20071023

  13. WG 2: Guidelines for observations 20071023

  14. WG2 Building the database present status 7687248 data in total from 15 countries plus IPG from 7285 observation sites 20071023

  15. WG2 Building the database List of plants in the common database 20071023

  16. WG 2: building up the database quality checks in development A. Zust, 2006 visual control logical control: elimination of rough errors 20071023

  17. treatment ofoutliers quality checks in development A. Zust, 2006 statistical control: elimination of extreme values – outliers Most frequent used visual and logical, less used statistical and spatial control methods are frequently combined with each other - individual data treatment - need of very experienced phenologists spatial control 20071023

  18. Early spring phases – high inter-annual variability WG 3: Applications Fitter & Fitter 2002 Menzel et al. GEB 2006 Earlier springs - larger spatial variability 20071023

  19. SSW – NNE North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) affects the progress of seasons across Europe (A.Menzel et al., in Global Change Biology 2005) 20071023
