About the Pan European Phenology Project PEP725
At the moment we are working on a new database structure - not all links are working! We are sorry, if you are interested in any dataset in the meantime contact us per email: PEP725 Management
PEP725 (the successor of the COST Action 725) is a project funded by ZAMG, the Austrian ministry for science & research bm:w_f and EUMETNET (the network of European meteorological services) - with the goal to astablish an open access database with plant phenology data sets for science, research and education.
The main objective of PEP725 is to:
promote and facilitate phenological research by delivering a pan European phenological database with an open, unrestricted data access for science, research and education (datapolicy)
So far 17 European meteorological services and 5 partners from different phenological network operators have joined PEP725.

- 2013-05-24 Turbo Spring 2013 in AustriaTweet After a belated start of the spring season due to cold weather from March till beginning of April a warm and sunny second half of April and first half of May accelerated spring-phenology. The graph compares spring 2013 (red dots) with the long term distribution. One can see that leaf unfolding of larch started end of April which is about two to three weeks later than the average. Lilac flowered quite in time in the first days of March - cock´s foot and black elder flowering was observed about one week earlier than usual.

During the last 30 years most phenological phases occur much earlier. The highest change can be observed in the early spring as well as for the May phases. Against other publications there is no clear signal for later autumn phases

Note: Phenology
Phenology is the study of the timing of recurring biological events in the animal and plant world. Leaf unfolding and flowering of plants in spring, fruit ripening, colour changing and leaf fall in autumn, as well as the appearance and departure of migrating birds and the timing of animal breeding are all examples.
