This document addresses critical protocol issues for defining phenophases across various programs (BHPP, ITEX, GLOBE) and provides comprehensive instructions for observing frequency and interval for large-scale spatial variation. It emphasizes the importance of location precision, observation object repeatability, and observer stratification (general, specialized, employee technician). The content also explores automated observation methods such as webcam and acoustic monitoring. Key concerns include distinguishing phenology from related observations and linking climate data with phenological observations.

Presentation Transcript

Key Protocol Issues to Define • definition of phenophases (BHPP, ITEX, GLOBE) • instructions for frequency and interval of observations (large-scale spatial variation) • location (method and precision) • observation object(repeatability and reproducibility)
Stratification of Observers • General observers • Specialized observers • Employee technician observers • Automated observations (e.g., webcam, infrared, acoustic)
Critical Issues • Phenology vs. other related/linked observations • How to obtain necessary metadata? • Location • Species • How to tie climate data to phenology observations?
