Using herbarium specimens to test for effects of climate change on the time of flowering
View through CrossRef
Temperature change in different seasons has various impacts on phenological events. In recent times herbarium material has become more relevant in studying ecological consequences of climate change. Digitalized historical herbarium provides useful material in addition to observational data. This study is the first to use Estonian herbarium material to test the usefulness of herbarium material for studying phenological changes due to climate change.
