One of the most important purposes of phenological observations is to improve understanding of the relationships between meteorological variables and associated biological responses. ... The main objectives of phenological observations at forest intensive monitoring plots are: 1. to provide information on the status and development of forest trees over the course of the year; to determine the course of the annual development stages of forest trees and their dependence on local (e.g., meteorological and site) conditions including damaging events; 3. to document and explain possible changes in the timing of these stages in relation to environmental factors of natural [or] anthropogenic origin such as air pollution and climate change.
