One of the clearest consequences of warmer temperatures is changes in the timing of critical
life cycle events of many organisms.
Jewish people believe that «it is a profoundly
significant life cycle event connecting the child to the ancient covenant between God and Abraham and the Torah and its commandments,» according to Philip Sherman, a veteran mohel and associate cantor at Congregation Shearith Israel in New York City.
When spring comes early, the date of the last frost often does not shift along with temperature averages and trends of animal and
plant life cycle events or phenological events.
Her newly acquired Hebrew name, used in ceremonies
accompanying life cycle events, combined the Hebrew version of Elizabeth with her biblical heroine, Rachel, Jacob's favorite wife.
When you are saving for a long -
term life cycle event like college, you should plan for the volatility by using an age - based asset allocation and by using dollar - cost averaging.
Phenology The study of periodic plant and
animal life cycle events and how these are influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate, as well as habitat factors.
Several other recent studies have linked climate change to biodiversity dynamics and conservation, most of which suggesting with high confidence that impacts of climate change are already visible through species loss, phenological (
life cycle events of plants and animals e.g. flowering, breeding, migration in relation to climatic conditions) shifts and changes in geographic distributions of species.
It was «free,» by which I mean we pay thousands of dollars a year in support of our congregation, and there is no extra charge
for life cycle events, though we did make an additional donation in thanks.
It was
a life cycle event that belonged to the realm of the family, and it could be meaningful and loving and powerful.
This shows that identifying inconsistent observations is a pre-requisite for studying and interpreting the impact of climate change on the timing of
life cycle events.
