Southern hemisphere plants show more delays than advances in flowering phenology

This dataset is from the manuscript 'Southern hemisphere plants show more delays than advances in flowering phenology' whereby historic field data, modern field data and herbarium specimen data were used to determine if plants in Sydney, Australia were flowering earlier in the year through time. This dataset also contains meteorological data used to analyse the relationship between temperature or precipitation and flowering time shifts to work out if these long-term changes in flowering phenology were impacted by seasonal climate. Finally, this data also includes a data compilation from previous studies to determine whether species were advancing or regressing their flowering through time.
