Please register at the latest 19 December to contribute a talk or a poster and 15 January to participate.
Phenological shifts, i.e. changes in the timing of seasonal events, are well-documented effects of climate change, with potentially large impact on nature and society. These effects include biodiversity conservation, spread of invasive species and conditions for growth, pests or frost damage in agriculture and forestry, as well as on human health (allergies). The goal of the symposium is to discuss how deliverables from phenology research and data monitoring may be used by stakeholders in their planning and decision-making, and by the general society for discovery and adaption to a changed climate.
The symposium is organized by the Swedish National Phenology Network (SWE-NPN), as a joint effort of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (head organization of SWE-NPN) and the Lund and Gothenburg Universities, through the BECC consortium (Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate).
