摘要
In addressing the challenges posed by the implications of climate change, understanding the phenological variations of woody plants has become a pivotal research topic. This research centers on the phenological shifts of woody plants and their connections with climatic factors in the southern and northern regions of the Nanling Mountains, which serve as the boundary between the north subtropical climate zone and the south subtropical climate zone in South China. The data were gathered through extensive manual observations conducted at four plant phenology observation stations (Ganxian, Foshan, Guilin, and Changsha) spanning different periods from 1963 to 2008. The study scrutinized four widely distributed woody plant species in the research area, specifically C. mollissima, P. fortunei, M. azedarach, and M. grandiflora. The analytical methods utilized were linear trend estimation and Pearson correlation coefficient analyses. The principal findings were as follows: (i) over the past several decades, the phenological stages of woody plants in the southern region consistently preceded those in the northern region with variations ranging from 2 to 38 days; (ii) an advancing trend of 0.1 to 2 days per decade was discerned in the phenological stages of all woody plants in the southern region; (iii) within the same geographic region, distinct species exhibited varying sensitivities to climatic factors, and M. azedarach demonstrated a particularly high sensitivity to climate fluctuations affecting phenological stages; and (iv) different climatic factors exerted distinct influences on individual plant species. Notably, temperature emerged as the primary driver of phenological changes, which was supported by a significant negative correlation between the phenological stages of the studied plants and spring temperatures. This study contributes to our understanding of the effects of climate change on plant phenology and offers valuable insights to guide ecological conservation and management strategies within the region.
