历史记录是了解气候变化的生物影响的重要资源。这些记录包括博物学家的期刊、俱乐部和野外考察站记录、博物馆标本、照片和科学研究。寻找记录并克服其局限性是气候变化研究面临的严峻挑战。在本文中,我们描述了从康科德,马萨诸塞州的数据定位的努力,并提供了一个模板,可以在其他位置复制。对不同数据来源的分析,包括亨利大卫梭罗在19世纪50年代的观察,表明气候变化正在影响康科德的物候,存在和物种丰度。尽管最近在历史记录方面开展了工作,但许多历史数据来源没有得到充分利用。对这些数据的分析可以提供对气候变化影响和管理这些影响的技术的深入了解。此外,研究结果有助于向公众传达当地气候条件变化的例子。
Historical records are an important resource for understanding the biological impacts of climate change. Such records include naturalists' journals, club and field station records, museum specimens, photographs, and scientific research. Finding records and overcoming their limitations are serious challenges to climate change research. In the present article, we describe efforts to locate data from Concord, Massachusetts, and provide a template that can he replicated in other locations. Analyses of diverse data sources, including observations made in the 1850s by Henry David Thoreau, indicate that climate change is affecting the phenology, presence, and abundance of species in Concord. Despite recent work on historical records, many sources of historical data are underutilized. Analyses of these data may provide insights into climate change impacts and techniques to manage them. Moreover, the results are useful for communicating local examples of changing climate conditions to the public.
