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: The investigation showed that a warming in the early spring (February–April) by 1 ◦ C causes an advance in the beginning of growing season of 7 days, and an increase of mean annual air temperature by 1◦ C led to an extension of 5 days.

TL;DR: In this article, the strongest shift in plant development occurred for the very early spring phases and the late spring and summer phases reacted also to the increased temperatures, but they usually show lower trends.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between air temperature and the beginning of growing season across Europe using canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and found significant changes in the mean air temperatures from February to April and the average BGS in Europe since 1989.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented maps of the beginning, the end and the length of the growing season as means over the years 1961-1998 as well as for the warm year 1990.
