| Description: |
AbstractObservations of changes in phenology have provided some of the strongest signals of the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. The International Tundra Experiment (ITEX), initiated in the early 1990s, established a common protocol to measure plant phenology in tundra study areas across the globe. Today, this valuable collection of phenology measurements depicts the responses of plants at the colder extremes of our planet to experimental and ambient changes in temperature over the past decades. The database contains 150 434 phenology observations of 278 plant species taken at 28 study areas for periods of 1–26 years. Here we describe the full data set to increase the visibility and use of these data in global analyses and to invite phenology data contributions from underrepresented tundra locations. Portions of this tundra phenology database have been used in three recent syntheses, some data sets are expanded, others are from entirely new study areas, and the entirety of these data are now available at the Polar Data Catalogue (https://doi.org/10.21963/13215). see all

Pat Webber and Terry Callaghan were the initial leaders of ITEX building on their involvement in the IBP Polar Biome program, and we thank them for their vision for this network. We thank A. Maria Fosaa for establishing the ITEX site in the Faroe Islands. We thank M. Dalle Fratte, D. Cooley, O. Durey, C. Eckert, J. F. Johnstone, C. Kennedy, V. Lamarre, G. Levasseur, C. Spiech, J. Svoboda, and R. Wising; the Herschel Island Qikiqtaruk Territorial Park staff, including E. McLeod, S. McLeod, R. Joe, P. Lennie, D. Arey, S. Goosen, D. Gordon, L. Meyook, J. McLeod, P. Foisy, C. Gordon, J. Hansen, A. Rufus, and R. Gordon; Quttinirpaaq National Park staff; the Greenland Ecosystem Monitoring program; the Warming and species Removal in Mountains (WaRM) coordinators, N. Sanders, A. Classen, and M. Sundqvist; as well as the many other individuals who established experiments and collected detailed phenology observations. We thank local communities for welcoming our research teams on their land, the Qamani’tuaq, Mittimatalik, Aujuittuq, Iñupiat, Waveroo, Cheyenne, Resolute Bay, and Finse Alpine Research Center, among many others. These observations were made possible with the support of many funding agencies and grants, including: ArcticNet; the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada; the Canadian International Polar Year Program; the Polar Continental Shelf Program of Natural Resources Canada; the Northern Scientific Training Program, Polar Knowledge Canada; the W. Garfield Weston Foundation; the Danish Environmental Protection Agency; the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL; the National Geographic Society; the US National Science Foundation (grant numbers PLR1525636, PLR1504141, PLR1433063, PLR1107381, PLR0119279, PLR0902125, PLR0856728, PLR1312402, PLR1019324, LTER 1026415, OPP1525636, OPP9907185, DEB1637686, 0856710, 9714103, 0632263, 0856516, 1432277, 1432982, 1504381, 1504224, 1433063, 0856728, 0612534, 0119279, 9421755, 0632184, 9617643, and 9321730; the Swiss National Science Foundation (155554); the Danish National Research Foundation (grant CENPERM DNRF100); the Danish Council for Independent Research (Natural Sciences grant DFF 4181-00565); the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (grant: RU 1536/3-1); the Natural Environment Research Council (grant NE/M016323/1); European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie (grant 754513), the Aarhus University Research Foundation, the Department of Energy (grant SC006982); a Semper Ardens grant from the Carlsberg Foundation to N.J.
