Phenology is one of the most sensitive biological responses to climate change, and recent changes in phenology have the potential to shake up ecosystems. In some cases, it appears they already are. Thus, for ecological reasons it is critical that we improve our understanding of species&amp;#x2019; phenologies and how these phenologies are responding to recent, rapid climate change. Phenological events like flowering and bird migrations are easy to observe, culturally important, and, at a fundamental level, naturally inspire human curiosity&amp;#x2014; thus providing an excellent opportunity to engage citizen scientists. The USA National Phenology Network has recently initiated a national effort to encourage people at different levels of...

The USA National Phenology Network (www.usanpn.org) has recently initiated a national effort to encourage people at different levels of expertise&amp;#x2014;from backyard naturalists to professional scientists&amp;#x2014;to observe phenology and contribute to a national database that will be used to greatly improve our understanding of spatio-temporal variation in phenology and associated phenological responses to climate change. Many phenological observation protocols identify speci&amp;#xfb01;c single dates at which individual phenological events are observed, but the scienti&amp;#xfb01;c usefulness of long-term phenological observations can be improved with a more carefully structured protocol. At the USA-NPN we have developed a new approach that...
