Abstract
Phenology is the study of reoccurring life-cycle events that are initiated and driven by environmental factors. It is an inter-disciplinary and integrative field that presents some key cross-cutting challenges. However, some recent advances in data and technology can help rise to these challenges. With these advances, phenology is poised to help address some critical ecological issues. This article presents an overview of phenology and some of its cross-cutting challenges. It then reviews some advances being made in the field and how these connect to land management, climate change, and climate modeling studies.
