Phenology of the North Calotte

Phenology of the North Calotte is an initiative aimed at stimulating schools to actively take part in nature observations and registrations. It addresses temporal variation in onset of phenological stages in annual natural cycles. The climate is an important factor determining the start of annual natural cycles, and yearly registrations of onset of phenological stages will provide time series that will be useful when evaluating impact of climate effects on ecosystems. Investigation of phenology data improves the ecological knowledge and is also useful for evaluating management strategies of natural resources.
