Abstract
A recent approach for multifactorial empirical analysis of phenological data allows us to reconstruct, with high temporal resolution, how the rate of development of an arbitrary biosystem during an arbitrary, phenologically opaque period depends on the relevant environmental factors. (The term opaque means that the period does not contain any phenologically observable events except its onset and end.) It is described how this approach can be applied to the detection and empirical description of developmental dynamics (that is, a dependence of development rate on development state), which might be hidden in a phenologically opaque period.
