tracking nature's calendar to prove seasons no longer read the same script.
means the study of cyclic, seasonal natural phenomena like flowering, migration, and breeding timed against climate.
from from greek phaino, to show or appear, plus logos, study; coined in the 1850s by belgian botanist charles morren, though farmers had been unofficial phenologists for millennia by watching when cherry trees bloomed.
