A new method and insights for estimating phenological events from herbarium specimens.
Katelin D PearsonPublished in: Applications in plant sciences (2019)
The new method enables estimation of phenological trends with greater precision. However, when time and resources are limited, a presence/absence method may offer comparable results at lower cost. Using a more restrictive approach, such as only including specimens in a certain phenophase, is not advised given the detrimental effect of decreased sample size on resulting models.
