Relevant Studies • Primack et al. (2004) • Compared flowering time of plants growing at the Arnold Arboretum in Boston, MA with 372 historic records of the same plants. • Boston experienced a 1.5°C increase in mean annual temperature since 1885. • The study shows that the plants studied are flowering 8 days earlier as a response to changing temperatures
The Questions Are San Diego County plants responding to climate change Answer: we don’t know! Which plants are showing a strong, measurable phenological response What is the baseline against which we can measure change How should we focus future monitoring efforts Solving the puzzle requires adequate, local, scientific records that go back in time
