PHENOLOGY Impacts of Spring Phenology on Carbon and Energy Fluxes in the Midwest and Northeast USA
Research Contributions • Phenology data from R. Ahas, J. Caprio, X. Chen, DWD, A. Menzel, J. O’Keefe, and WPS • Flux data from S. Wofsy/Harvard Forest (1992-2000), Lamont ARM (1994-1998), K. Davis/Park Falls/ WLEF (1997-1999), S. Grimmond/H. Schmid/ Morgan Monroe (1999-2000) , and D. Baldocchi/ K. Wilson/Oak Ridge (1996-2000) • Phenology compositing technique adapted from a method developed by X. Chen
RESEARCH GOALS • Dynamic Biosphere Models • Terrestrial Biosphere Change Detection • Improve Understanding of Atmosphere-Biosphere Interactions
Integrated Approach • Satellite Observations (AVHRR-NDVI) • Indicator Species Phenology • Native Species Phenology
Spring Indices (SI) Bloom Model Performance(3 plant average model output compared to lilac bloom data)

Proposed FLUXNET Phenological Phases(coniferous sites) • NA (Needle appearance) • CF (Flowering)
Proposed FLUXNET Phenological Phases(deciduous sites) • SL (Sprouting of leaves) • UL (Beginning of the unfolding of leaves) • L95 (95% of leaves at 95%+ of final size) • BF (Beginning of flowering) • FR (Fruit ripe) • CL (Coloring of leaves)
Proposed FLUXNET Phenological Phases(grassland sites) • IG (Initiation of growth, tiller emergence) • IF (Initiation of flowering, anthesis) • DF (Duration of flowering, anthesis) • PS (Peak seedheads) • LC (Leaves in canopy > 90% dry)
