  • Flowering phenology is one of the most important life cycle traits of plants and one of the most sensitive indicators of the impact of climate change on ecosystems. Previous studies on flowering phenology were.focused on temperate regions, with limited research on tropical and subtropical regions. It remains to be studied whether there are different patterns of plant phenology in the transitional zone between subtropical and warm temperate regions. In this context an attempt was made to analyze the effects of plant phylogenetic and climatic factors on the flowering patterns of plants in the Qinling Mountains region. A total of 5 084 flowering data from 1 830 species and local meteorological data from 2000 to 2020 were collected from the Chinese Field Herbarium Museum to determine the impact of these two factors on flowering phenology. The results showed that the peak of plant flowering occurred in July, the flowering pattern being mostly single peak. There are significant differences in flowering phenology among plants of different families, and there is no significant difference in phenology among plants of different genera within the same family, indicating that species with similar genetic relationships have more similar flowering times. The phenological pattern of flowering in the Qinling Mountains is influenced by the coupling mechanism of precipitation and temperature, with precipitation being the main climatic factor driving the flowering of plant communities in the Qinling Mountains. All these results showed that in the transitional zone between subtropical and temperate regions, both plant phylogenetic relationships and climatic factors may affect the phenological patterns of plant flowering.

Previous studies on flowering phenology were.focused on temperate regions, with limited research on tropical and subtropical regions. It remains to be studied whether there are different patterns of plant phenology in the transitional zone between subtropical and warm temperate regions. In this context an attempt was made to analyze the effects of plant phylogenetic and climatic factors on the flowering patterns of plants in the Qinling Mountains region. A total of 5 084 flowering data from 1 830 species and local meteorological data from 2000 to 2020 were collected from the Chinese Field Herbarium Museum to determine the impact of these two factors on flowering phenology.
