Phenology is the study of the timing of recurrent synchronised biological processes
Spawning, plankton blooms, animal migrationsare examples for such seasonal events
Phenology requires many years of frequent observations
These are available from the only off-shore North Seaisland Helgoland
Operative prognosis on the phenology of North Sea plankton
is available under:www.senckenberg.de/dzmb/plankton
Summary:
- phenology is applicable in marine ecology
- climatic effect recognition and prediction are supported
- marine monitoring has to consider quanititative and phenological variance
- as in terrestrial phenology a marine phenological observation system will have to include the participation of volunteer observationists and phenological observation sites (e.g. W.M.O. phenological gardens)
Expectation:
- phenology will become a standard method in marine research
