WHAT DOES PHENOLOGICAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Phenology

Phenology is the study of periodic plant and animal life cycle events and how these are influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate, as well as habitat factors. The word is derived from the Greek φαίνω, "to show, to bring to light, make to appear" + λόγος, amongst others "study, discourse, reasoning" and indicates that phenology has been principally concerned with the dates of first occurrence of biological events in their annual cycle. Examples include the date of emergence of leaves and flowers, the first flight of butterflies and the first appearance of migratory birds, the date of leaf colouring and fall in deciduous trees, the dates of egg-laying of birds and amphibia, or the timing of the developmental cycles of temperate-zone honey bee colonies. In the scientific literature on ecology, the term is used more generally to indicate the time frame for any seasonal biological phenomena, including the dates of last appearance.

Definition of phenological in the English dictionary

The definition of phenological in the dictionary is of or relating to the study of recurring phenomena, such as animal migration, esp as influenced by climatic conditions.
