观察物候期可能是跟踪物种生态对气候变化的反应的最简单方法。其他可能的反应，如物种分布、种群规模和群落组成的改变，将更难检测，成本也更高（Walther等人，2002年）。因此，近年来，物候学作为全球变化的生物指标越来越受到关注。例如，2002年1月德国一家报纸上一篇关于气候变化的文章的标题是“雪珠带来坏消息”。物候学似乎是一个理想的气候指标，在区域，国家和国际层面，因为它很容易被公众理解，允许在较小的规模上研究变化，提高对气候变化问题的认识，让公众参与气候变化的辩论，并重新连接人们与他们的自然世界（斯帕克斯和史密瑟斯2002）。然而，科学界也欢迎将物候学作为全球变化研究的工具。除其他外，欧洲环境署提议将生长季节的长度和物候期作为全球变化指标。
Observation of phenological phases is probably the simplest way to track changes in the ecology of species in response to climate change. Other possible responses, such as altered species distribution, population sizes, and community composition, will be much harder and more expensive to detect (Walther et al. 2002). Thus, during recent years, phenology has received increasing attention as a bio-indicator for Global Change. “Snow drops as bearer of bad tidings” was, for example, the title of an article about climate change in a German newspaper in January 2002. Phenology seems to be an ideal climate indicator at regional, national, and international levels, because it is easily understood by the general public, allows the study of changes at a smaller scale, raises awareness of climate change issues, engages the public in the climate change debate, and reconnects people with their natural world (Sparks and Smithers 2002). However, the scientific community also welcomes phenology as a tool for global change research. Among others, the length of the growing season and phenological phases are proposed by the European Environment Agency as global change indicators.
