Phenological season on sets in the Czech Republic

English. Phenological season onsets are defined according to the phenological stages onsets in typical plant species occurring in the Czech Republic. For processing phenological phases were chosen: beginning of flowering 10% of Corylus avellana L., Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaert. and Galanthus nivalis L. (pre-early spring)

beginning of flowering 10% of Cerasus avium (L.) Moench, Betula pendula Roth. and Acer platanoides L. (early spring)

fully leaved Betula pendula Roth., Acer platanoides L. and Cerasus avium (L.) Moench. (full spring)

beginning of flowering 10% of Tilia cordata Mill., Sambucus nigra L. and Dactylis glomerata L. (early summer)

full ripeness of Sambucus nigra L. and Sorbus aucuparia L. (full summer)

leaves colouring 10% of Betula pendula L., Sorbus aucuparia L. and Tilia cordata Mill. (early autumn)

leaves fall 100% of Sambucus nigra L., Sorbus aucuparia L. and Tilia cordata Mill. (end of autumn). The season onsets were calculated from 40 phenological stations in the Czech Republic within 1991–2010. Phenological season onsets were executed by GIS methods (Clidata-DEM) into maps. The effect of altitude on the phenological phase onset and duration of selected phenological period (flowering and ripening of black elder) is described in phenotermopluviogram at selected stations (Lednice, 155 m a.s.l.

Měděnec 830 m a.s.l.).
