"The annual clock of the seasons – winter, spring, summer, autumn – is often
taken as a given. But our new study in
Nature, using a new approach for
observing seasonal growth cycles from satellites, shows that this notion is far
too simple.
We present an unprecedented and intimate portrait of the seasonal cycles of
Earth’s land-based ecosystems. This reveals “hotspots” of seasonal asynchrony
around the world – regions where the timing of seasonal cycles can be out of
sync between nearby locations.
We then show these differences in timing can have surprising ecological,
evolutionary, and even economic consequences."
