Warming does not delay the start of autumnal leaf coloration but slows its progress rate
Résumé
Aim: Initiation of autumnal leaf senescence is crucial for plant overwintering and ecosystem dynamics. Previous studies have focused on the advanced stages of autumnal leaf senescence and reported that climatic warming delayed senescence, despite the fundamental differences among the stages of senescence. However, the timing of
onset of leaf coloration (DLCO), the earliest visual sign of senescence, has rarely been studied. Here, we assessed the response of DLCO to temperature.
Location: 30–75° N in the Northern Hemisphere.
Time period: 2000–2018.
