Phenology: Nature Observation Throughout the Year

Description

Phenology is the scientific study of nature observation. It deals with the seasonal developmental stages of plants and animals and has its origins in agriculture, where it was used to determine optimal harvest times. Plant growth is divided into clearly defined stages, the so-called phenological seasons. There are a total of ten such seasons, which indicate the current developmental stage of nature with the help of indicator plants.

Animals also follow fixed annual rhythms that can be observed and classified. Phenological observations reveal how closely plants, animals, and the environment are connected and how natural cycles change throughout the year.

Regular excursions make it possible to experience these connections directly in nature. The current phenological seasons are observed and interpreted together. Phenology sharpens the eye for details, promotes a deeper understanding of natural processes, and opens up new perspectives on the dynamics of nature.

Highlights

• Regular excursions for nature observation
