Spring is arriving across much of the West more than 20 days earlier than average when looking at when plants first leaf-out - even reaching almost to Canada! I'd expect significant ecological impacts from the heat this March. Graphic/data from @usa-npn.bsky.social: www.usanpn.org/data/maps/sp...

According to my backyard naturalist spreadsheet, many plants flowered 4 to 6 weeks earlier than usual As I said last weekend (march 20), it is like mid to late April in our grasslands right now here in California

My last story from c.gov last year… probably would have written about it again this year… but you know. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

climate.govHow spring plant milestones are shifting in response to changing climateAcross much of the United States, the first leaves and flowers of common garden plants are emerging earlier in the spring than they used to. It's a different story in the Southeast.

Anomaly spatial patterns this year quite consistent with those trends!

Pretty cool and interesting! From a science/data stand point. From a human/ecological standpoint point definitely concerning.

Also with impact for farming. Earlier vegetation start can mean more growing days but also a snapback and crop damage. In Europe on the other hand we have a little colder spring than the last years.
