  1. Plant phenology was explained by: Landscape identity, Species richness, Community temporal variance (year within landscape), Community average functioning (community identity within landscape), and Community asynchrony (interaction year x community identity). The values show the coefficient of determination (R2) associated with each phenology component when modelling the green-up date (G-U), the green-down date (G-D) and the growing season length (GSL)
