Project BudBurst Plant Phenology Data, 2013, USA

Project BudBurst is a long-term citizen science project designed to engage the public in the collection of plant phenology data across the United States. Project BudBurst is part of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON, Inc), solely funded by the National Science Foundation.

Data are collected using two protocols, 1) Regular Reports and 2) Single Reports, described below.

Regular Reports: Event-based monitoring where participants watch a specific plant throughout the year and record the date on which specific phenophases occur.

Single Reports: Status-based monitoring where participants record what they observe a plant doing, including null values, at a given point in time.

Five plant groups are monitored: Deciduous Trees and Shrubs, Wildflowers and Herbs, Evergreen Trees and Shrubs, Conifers, and Grasses.

The data collected as part of Project BudBurst are intended to help scientists learn more about the responsiveness of individual plant species to changes in climate locally, regionally, and nationally.

芽突项目（Project BudBurst）是一项长期公民科学项目，旨在吸纳公众参与美国全境的植物物候数据采集工作。该项目隶属于美国国家生态观测站网络（National Ecological Observatory Network, NEON, Inc），由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）独家资助。

数据采集采用两类标准化方案：1）定期报告与2）单次报告，具体说明如下。

定期报告：属于基于事件的监测模式，参与者需全年持续追踪特定植株，并记录各特定物候期出现的具体日期。

单次报告：属于基于状态的监测模式，参与者可在任意时间点记录其观测到的植株状态，亦可填报空值以表征无有效观测结果的情况。

本次监测涵盖五大植物类群：落叶乔灌木、野生花卉与草本植物、常绿乔灌木、针叶树以及禾草类植物。

本项目所采集的数据集，旨在助力科学家深入探究各植物物种在局地、区域乃至全国尺度上对气候变化的响应规律。
