Observations of changes in phenology have provided some of the strongest
signals of the effects of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems. The International
Tundra Experiment (ITEX), initiated in the early 1990s, established a common protocol to
measure plant phenology in tundra study areas across the globe. Today, this valuable collection of phenology measurements depicts the responses of plants at the colder extremes of
our planet to experimental and ambient changes in temperature over the past decades.
The database contains 150 434 phenology observations of 278 plant species taken at 28 study
areas for periods of 1–26 years. Here we describe the full data set to increase the
visibility and use of these data in global analyses and to invite phenology data contributions
from underrepresented tundra locations. Portions of this tundra phenology database have
been used in three recent syntheses, some data sets are expanded, others are from entirely
new study areas, and the entirety of these data are now available at the Polar Data Catalogue
