Many natural ecosystems occur in the seasonal environments, where phenological species interactions are the hallmark of community dynamics and biodiversity effects on ecosystem functions may be realized through phenological diversity. To understand and forecast the impacts of global climate change, phenologically explicit community dynamics should provide a useful perspective. We hope that this special feature will serve as pointers for future research on phenological interactions in multispecies ecological communities.

社区环境中的物候：更好地了解季节性环境中物候的原因和后果

许多自然生态系统都出现在季节性环境中，其中物候物类相互作用是社区动态的标志，生物多样性对生态系统功能的影响可以通过物候学多样性来实现。为了理解和预测全球气候变化的影响，从物候角度看待明确的社区动态应该提供有用的观点。我们希望这一特殊功能可以为今后在多物种生态社区中进行物候相互作用的研究提供指导。
