The annual rite on Groundhog Day isn’t great at predicting the length of winter. But there are some science-based links between plants, animals and incoming weather.

As scientists strive to improve forecasts of how plant and animal phenology responds to global change, it is important to include extreme weather events, Li and his co-authors say.

The study of major recurring life cycle events like these for plants and animals alike is known as phenology. Tracking and understanding “nature’s calendar” provides insight into climate change.
