Status and Availability of Ground Phenology Observations/Networks - Ireland
• 4 international phenological gardens with long-term data (>40 years) on a suite of trees
• 10 international phenological gardens with short-term data (>2 years) on trees
• 6 sites with 2 native species of trees (>2 years)
• Some citizen science data– School students– Nature Watch– Phenology trail
• Data not quality controlled
• Initiative started Fall 2011• Borrows software (Nature’s Notebook), protocols and
educational material from USA-NPN• Will rely on citizen scientists• Priority given to plants• Multi-institutional, supported through voluntary
contributions, no dedicated funding (yet!)• Expected to be operational Spring 2013• Coordinator:
