Since 2003, the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO) records the phenological activities of a number of selected Quercus robur (Oak) and Fagus sylvatica (Beech) trees in different plots in two forests in Flanders, Belgium. Tree activities that are recorded are: • Bud burst and leaf development • Flowering • Ripening of the fruits • Leaf discoloration and leaf fall We followed the method as applied by IPC-Forest. In spring and fall, selected trees in different plots are visually inspected to assess the development stages. For instance, to record leaf development, we used a 5-level scoring system: 1. No sign of any leaf development 2. few leaves present, only small part of Crown 3. between 2 and 4 4. many leaves present, large part of crown 5. Fully developed leaves and crown" Scope Keywords: Terrestrial, Oak, Phenology, Belgium, Meerdaalwoud, , Geographical coverage Belgium, Meerdaalwoud Temporal coverage 2003 - 2010 Weekly Taxonomic coverage Quercus petraea Quercus robur Parameters Date of budburst: Methodology IPCC forest Flowering time: Methodology IPCC forest Contributors Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Leefmilieu, Natuur en Energie; Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek; Afdeling Advies en Informatie; Ecosysteembeheer, more, data manager, data owner, data creator Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Omgeving; Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek (INBO), more, data owner KU Leuven (KULeuven), more, data owner Vlaamse overheid; Beleidsdomein Leefmilieu, Natuur en Energie; Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek; Afdeling Biodiversiteit en Natuurlijk Milieu; Onderzoeksgroep Soortendiversiteit, more, researcher Project Regeneration dynamics of Oak.
