Phenology is the study of plant and animal life cycle events, such as first flower openings, insect hatchings, and bird return dates. Changes in the timing of these events represent integrated responses of Earth's biosphere to environmental variations. Past phenology studies have been highly effective in detecting climate variation impacts at individual sites, and at widely spaced locations spanning selected regions. Observation networks exist in Europe and Canada, but the USA does not have effective regional or any nationwide phenology networks. Only a national network can assess the large-scale ecological responses projected to occur due to future climate change. In collaboration with other federal agencies, this project will sponsor an expert meeting to produce an implementation plan for a National Phenology Network (NPN) that addresses scientific, technical, cyberinfrastructure, and organizational issues. NPN will facilitate understanding of plant phenological cycles and their relationship to climate; comprehensive evaluation of satellite-derived measurements; and detection of long-term phenological trends in response to climate variability/global warming. NPN data could help evaluate impacts of longer growing seasons on pollinators, cattle, crop and forest pests, wildfires, carbon storage, and water use. The National Phenology Network will be designed in such a way that it can engage the public as observers, and thus increase awareness of ecological responses to climate change. NPN planning coincides with several compatible initiatives, including NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network), Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), and current plans to modernize the National Weather Service COOP (volunteer) weather station network into a National Mesonet. An NPN/National Mesonet linkage would enhance environmental measurement at up to 10,000 existing weather stations.

物候学是对动植物生命周期事件的研究，例如第一个花开口，昆虫孵化和鸟类回流。 这些事件时间的变化代表了地球生物圈对环境变化的综合响应。 过去的物候研究在检测各个地点的气候变化影响以及跨越所选区域的位置方面非常有效。 观察网络在欧洲和加拿大存在，但美国没有有效的区域或任何全国范围的物候网络。 只有国家网络才能评估由于未来气候变化而预计发生的大规模生态反应。 该项目与其他联邦机构合作，将赞助一次专家会议，以制定针对国家物候网络（NPN）的实施计划，该计划涉及科学，技术，网络基础设施和组织问题。 NPN将促进对植物物候周期及其与气候的关系的理解。 comprehensive evaluation of satellite-derived measurements;以及对气候变异性/全球变暖的响应的长期物候趋势的检测。 NPN数据可以帮助评估较长的生长季节对传粉媒介，牛，农作物和森林害虫，野火，碳储存和用水的影响。 国家物候网络的设计方式将以观察者的身份吸引公众，从而提高人们对气候变化的生态反应的认识。 NPN计划与几项兼容的计划相吻合，包括霓虹灯（国家生态观测网络），全球地球系统（GEOSS）以及现代化现代化国家气象服务库（志愿者）气象站网络的现代计划。 NPN/国家介子连接将增强多达10,000个现有气象站的环境测量。
