Climate influences when leaves change colour and fall, but not all trees lose their leaves at the same time. Combining field data, mathematical models and remote sensing, researchers show how local-scale variation in tree canopies and understory temperatures alters the start and duration of autumn leaf colouration and forecast reduced autumn delays under climate change.

小气候调节秋叶落叶的时间


气候会影响树叶变色和落叶的时间，但并非所有树木都会同时落叶。结合实地数据、数学模型和遥感，研究人员展示了树冠和林下温度的局部尺度变化如何改变秋叶着色的开始和持续时间，并预测在气候变化下减少秋季延迟。
