植物标本馆标本和公民科学观测越来越容易获得，但对物候研究的数据来源利用不足。我们开发并测试了一种新技术，该技术使用高质量的公民科学观察来提供来自植物标本馆标本的物候模型的独立验证。使用这种方法，我们能够评估植物标本室数据集的优点和缺点。我们发现，我们的模型对于理解大地理区域内焦点物种物候的相对变化是有效的，但需要进一步校准以提供特定日期和地点的准确预测。随着植物标本馆标本越来越数字化，公民科学越来越多地被用作一种研究方法，我们在这里介绍的技术的潜在应用将会增长。
Both herbarium specimens and citizen-science observations have become increasingly accessible but underutilized sources of data for phenology research. We developed and tested a novel technique that uses high-quality citizen-science observations to provide an independent validation of phenology models derived from herbarium specimens. Using this approach, we were able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the herbarium data set. We found that our models were valid for understanding the relative shifts in the phenology of the focal species across a large geographic area but needed further calibration to provide accurate predictions for specific dates and locations. As herbarium specimens become increasingly digitized and citizen science becomes more frequently used as a research methodology, the potential application of the technique we present here will grow.
