Caracterización fenológica y análisis de tendencias de la estación de Tudela de Duero (Valladolid)

Abstract

Phenology, as a science positioned between ecology and climatology, is an important tool for studies applied to the agricultural and environmental sectors. Phenological data can characterize the climate (including microclimates) of a territory, its variability and trends, atmospheric and soil-climatic environmental gradients, as well as the population genetic variability of biological species in relation to their geographic distribution area. Phenological data from Tudela de Duero station has been used to perform a simple descriptive statistics analysis to ecoclimatically characterize the station, define a typical phenological spring ("nature’s calendar"), and search for trends in the occurrence dates of events. This work presents a summary of the results of these studies.
