Abstract:
Temperature is one of most important climatic factors in the plant flowering time. Using phenology observed data of rape petal in Gaochun from 1986 to 2016, this paper analyzes the characteristics of fullbloom stage and temperature factors in different years. Path analysis method is used to analyze the effect of three temperature factors on fullbloom stage of rape petal. The three factors are days of mean air temperature lower than 5℃, accumulated temperature of mean air temperature lower than 5℃, and days with strong cold air. The results could provide theoretical foundation for the predicting of optimum viewing period and tourism meteorological services of rape petal in Gaochun. Finally, the results show that there is no fluctuation of fullbloom stage before 2001. However, along with the decadal variation, it shows an early trend obriously. The type of fullbloom stage changes with the average temperature stabilized at 5°C. Specifically, the early years of fullbloom stage are less than normal early years and normallate years, less than normal years, and less than later years. There is a significant correlation between fullbloom stage in late years and days of mean air temperature lower than 5℃ (Ta<5℃). Beginning from the winter solstice, the fullbloom stage of rape petal next year would be later than April 4 if the Ta<5℃ days are more than 53 d, or accumulated temperature of mean air temperature lower than 5℃ (Ta<5℃) is more than 137℃?d. Then, rape fullbloom stage next year would be pushed back with the more days reaching level of strong cold air. With three indice of low temperature, the largest factor impact on rape petal fullbloom stage is the accumulated temperature of mean air temperature lower than 5℃ (Ta<5℃).
