Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#Climate experts say #spring is coming earlier. How will that affect #agriculture and #ecosystems?
An earlier spring affects when migratory birds arrive, leaves emerge, and fruit ripens — among plants and animals that determine ecosystem health.
The #USA National #Phenology Network shows that this year spring arrived three to five weeks earlier than the average between 1991 to 2020 in much of the central #US and two to three weeks earlier in southern Midwest states.
