Plant Phylogeny Records
These observations have been recorded in field notes by the CERA Manager and are not necessarily for the purpose of monitoring specific species. As such they are not being collected in a systematic way. However, records may be sorted by species, location, and observation date to investigate phenologies of several species and obtain some distribution data. Contribute your own observations of plant phenology at CERA by submitting a field observation form. Years: 2000-present Data per observation: Date, location, species, flowering status, fruiting status, additional notes (height, specific location, etc.) Availability: Excel file from the CERA Manager.
