Ongoing climate warming has been widely reported to delay autumn phenology, which in turn impacts carbon, water, energy and nutrient balances at regional and global scales. However, the underlying mechanisms of autumn phenology responses to climate change have not been fully elucidated. The aims of this study were to determine whether brightening that was defined as the increase of surface solar radiation and warming during recent decades affect autumn phenology in opposite directions and explore the underlying mechanisms.

大气增亮抵消了变暖引起的欧洲温带树木秋季物候延迟

据报道，持续的气候变暖会延迟秋季物候，进而影响区域和全球范围内的碳、水、能量和营养平衡。然而，秋季物候响应气候变化的潜在机制尚未完全阐明。本研究的目的是确定增亮（定义为近几十年来地表太阳辐射和变暖的增加）是否会以相反的方向影响秋季物候，并探索其潜在机制。
