TL;DR: In this article, the authors used an enormous systematic phenological network data set of more than 125 000 observational series of 542 plant and 19 animal species in 21 European countries (1971-2000) and concluded that previously published results of phenological changes were not biased by reporting or publication predisposition.

TL;DR: Users of the PEP725 database have studied a diversity of topics ranging from climate change impact, plant physiological question, phenological modeling, and remote sensing of vegetation to ecosystem productivity.

TL;DR: In this article, a data set of 17 phenological phases from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia spanning the time period from 1951 to 1998 has been made available for analysis together with a gridded temperature data set (1° × 1° grid) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index time series.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the influence of altitude on plant phenology over an area, delimited by 46 to 49°N latitude and 5 to 15°E longitude, that includes major parts of the Alpine region for the period 1971-2000.

TL;DR: A significant impact of heat stress on the human health is revealed, with a significantly higher sensitivity on women compared to men, and higher risks of deaths due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases were found.
