TL;DR: In this paper, a method for generating daily surfaces of temperature, precipitation, humidity, and radiation over large regions of complex terrain is presented, based on the spatial convolution of a truncated Gaussian weighting filter with the set of station locations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed predictive phenology models based on traditional phenology research using commonly available meteorological and climatological data and compared with satellite phenology observations at numerous 20 km x 20 km contiguous landcover sites.

TL;DR: This article showed that the impacts of climate change are not likely to be uniform across all varieties and regions, and that future climate change will exceed a threshold such that the ripening of balanced fruit required for existing varieties and wine styles will become progressively more difficult.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess 10 start-of-spring (SOS) methods for North America between 1982 and 2006 and find that SOS estimates were more related to the first leaf and first flowers expanding phenological stages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present documented input parameters for a process-based ecosystem simulation model, BIOME-BGC, for major natural temperate biomes, including turnover and mortality, allocation, carbon to nitrogen ratios (C:N), the percent of plant material in labile, cellulose, and lignin pools, leaf morphology, leaf conductance rates and limitations, canopy water interception and light extinction.
