Phenology is a key aspect of plant and animal life strategies that determines the ability to capture seasonally variable resources. It defines the season and duration of growth and reproduction and paces ecological interactions and ecosystem functions. Phenology models have become a key component of models in agronomy, forestry, ecology, and biogeosciences. Plant and animal process-based phenology models have taken different paths that have so far not crossed. Yet, they share many features because plant and animal annual cycles also share many characteristics, from their stepwise progression, including a resting period, to their dependence on similar environmental factors. We review the strengths and shortcomings of these models and the divergences in modeling approaches for plants and animals, which are mostly due to specificities of the questions they tackle. Finally, we discuss the most promising avenues and the challenges phenology modeling needs to address in the upcoming years.

基于过程的植物和动物物候模型

物候学是植物和动物生命策略的一个关键方面，它决定了捕获季节性可变资源的能力。它定义了生长和繁殖的季节和持续时间，并确定了生态相互作用和生态系统功能。物候模型已成为农学、林业、生态学和生物地球科学模型的关键组成部分。基于植物和动物过程的物候模型采取了迄今为止尚未跨越的不同路径。然而，它们有许多共同点，因为植物和动物的年度周期也有许多共同点，从它们的逐步进展（包括休息期）到它们对类似环境因素的依赖。我们回顾了这些模型的优点和缺点以及植物和动物建模方法的分歧，这主要是由于他们解决的问题的特殊性。最后，我们讨论了未来几年物候建模需要解决的最有前途的途径和挑战。
