This study examines changes in the phonological events of the
British wild plants recorded by a natural historian in over a
30-year period in response to climate change. Analysis showed that
an overall increase of 1 C air temperature would advance spring
phenophases such as leafing and flowering by 4-16 days and delay
autumn phases such as fruit ripening by 3-4 days. The current
findings were compared and contrasted with similar findings from
published studies, and found consistent in most cases. It can be
concluded that winter and spring phenophases will get progressively
earlier while autumn phenophases will be delayed as the climate
warms. Based on UKCIP02's scenarios it was projected that most of
the spring phenophases will dramatically advance, if the current
climate warming continues, raising concerns for the monitoring and
conservation of, and implications for, woodland species and native
wild flora in the UK. This monograph will be useful for climate
scientist, plant biologist, natural historian and nature lovers."
