Influence of meteorological conditions and crown defoliation on tree phenology in intensive forest monitoring plots in Slovenia

Data from the forest monitoring programme in Slovenia were used to assess the relationship between tree phenology, crown defoliation and meteorological conditions in Fagus sylvatica, Quercus robur and Picea abies forests in the 2004-2013 period. We hypothesized a species-specific response o...
