Climate warming tends to extend the vegetative growing seasons through earlier spring activity or later autumn dormancy, or some combination of the two. Responses are often quite complex in practice however, due to modulating factors such as snow cover and because warming in many regions is inconsistent across the year. In Europe, for example, winter and spring months are warming twice as fast as months in the summer and autumn.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
