- Phenology - Phenology is the study of the times of recurring natural phenomena. The word is derived from the Greek Phainomai (φαινομαι)- to appear, come into view, and indicates that phenology has been principally concerned with the dates of first occurrence of natural events in their annual cycle.
- Nature Detectives - Nature Detectives is an online phenology research and education project for 4-18 year-olds in the UK. It is run by the Woodland Trust, as part of the UK Phenology Network.
- Revised Simple Biosphere Model (SIB-2) - The model SIB-2 built by Sellers et al. (1996b) it is improvement of the model Sib-1, whose model innovation is the use satellite images in global ambit, to obtain the vegetation phenology.
- Growing degree day - Growing degree days (GDD) are a heuristic tool in phenology. GDD are used by horticulturists and gardeners to predict the date that a flower will bloom or a crop reach maturity.
