Long-term phenology observations for temperate fruit trees in the Mediterranean region (and Germany)https://doi.org/10.60507/FK2/MZIELILuedeling, EikeCaspersen, LarsDelgado Delgado, AlvaroEgea, Jose A.Ruiz, DavidBen Mimoun, MehdiBenmoussa, HaïfaGhrab, MohamedKodad, OssamaEl Yaacoubi, AdnaneFadón, EricaRodrigo, Javierbonndata2024-05-232024-07-08T07:26:39ZThis dataset contains phenological observations made for temperate fruit and nut tree species in Morocco, Tunisia, Spain, and Germany. Phenology observations include mostly different stages of bloom but in a few cases also fruit ripening. Covered fruit tree species include stone fruit (apricot, sweet cherry, plum, peach), pome fruit (apple, pear), nut (almond, pistachio), and olive. The dataset includes observations made for more than 270 different cultivars. Observations were made in commercially managed orchards. Additionally, the dataset contains daily temperature observations for some of the covered locations.Agricultural SciencesEnglishAbou-Saaid, O., El Yaacoubi, A., Moukhli, A., El Bakkali, A., Oulbi, S., Delalande, M., Farrera, I., Kelner, J.-J., Lochon-Menseau, S., El Modafar, C., 2022.
