Urban #ArtificialLight (AL & NoAL) ➡️ #SpringBudburst and its #SpatialVariation within species distribution❓

Results:
1️⃣ Temperature responsiveness: NoAL > AL;
2️⃣ Twigs #Photoperiod limitation: NoAL < AL;
3️⃣ Heat requirement: NoAL < AL.
4️⃣ The difference between the two at high latitudes is more significant.
