Cardedeu series (Pere Comas)

• Started by Pere Comas and continurd by Miquel Comas, from1952 to 2005.

• Pere Comas observed 103 species of plants (out of leaves, flowers, fruit, and fall out of the leaf), the arrival of 6 migratory birds and the appearance of the 1st butterfly.

• It is one of the world's longest and most homogeneous series (Borroughs, 1992)


Il∙lustration: CRISTINA LOSANTOS, Cavall Fort “Pere Comas i el canvi climàtic”

Catalan phenological history

• Provincial School of Agriculture: Xarxa meteorològica de la Granja Experimental (1896‐1906)

• SMC: 1931 Catalan Comission of Agricultural Meteorology – Adopt the Resolution 79 of the Meteorological Conference in Copenhagen

(1919), urging the weather services to begin phenological observations– Adjust the latest European standards and choose the species observed– Study Note n. 63, published in 1936: "First results of the phenological

observations in Catalonia (1932‐1935)"

• The National Meteorological Service (Climatology Section)establishes the penology network of Spain in 1942


Current status: searching for Catalan series

Source: AEMET i RAM http://www.tiempo.com/ram/2764/la‐observacin‐fenolgica‐en‐agrometeorologa‐y‐climatologa/comment‐page‐1/

Each one follows different criteria:‐ more or less phenophasses‐ different codification‐ compartmentalization

• Ornitology societys (ICO)• CBMS (Catalan Butterfly Monitoring Scheme)• Technical schools of agronomy and agricultural engineering, specific associations (ADV)• Research institutes (INCAVI, IRTA, botanical gardens ...)• AEMET

We had to develop phenologyobservations in Catalonia

• Study the climate• Carelessness of AEMET• Protect the legacy of the past• Preserve our phenology heritage


What does Europe do?

Acció COST 725: Establint una plataforma de dades fenològiques europea per a aplicacions climatològiques (2009)

Principal objectiu de la PEP725:Promoure i facilitar la recerca fenològica amb una base de dades europea oberta a tothom (científics, educadors i gent interessada en el tema)

http://www.pep725.eu/

Base de dades de fenologia paneuropea:Pan European Phenology Database (PEP725)

3. The project

A. Request the Catalan Institution of Natural History: Adapt Europe standards (selection of species, application BBCH scale)

B. Creation of the database and the system for data introduction

C. Detection of interested observersD. Start of activity


General tips for phenological observations • Site selection of observation• Selection of the species observed• Selection of the plant to observe• How to observe and how to fill the pages of observation

4. The future• Join PEP725 • Acquire the knowledge to evaluate the goodness of the data• More phenophases, more species?• Develop the database• Implement an online data entry system• Improve the web page about phenology inside meteo.cat• Open the system to all the population

Goal: Preserve our phenologic heritage, making it available to the scientific community to make it possible to study the imprint of

climate change in Catalonia
