Abstract:The meteorological data and paulownia phenological data are used to analyze the relationship between the paulownia phenological phases and the relative meteorological factors in Zhejiang province. In addition, the climatic features before flowering and leaf spreading are studied, and the possible effects of cold air on the paulownia phenological phase in autumn are discussed. The relationship between the paulownia phenological phase and the annual average meteorological elements shows that the paulownia phenological phase depends mostly on the temperature and ≥ 10 ℃ effective accumulated temperature, then the precipitation, and finally the sunshine hours. The paulownia phenological phase is very sensitive to the current temperature, and precipitation has a lagging effect on its flowering and leaf spreading. The ≥ 10 ℃ accumulated temperatures should reach 200 ℃·d and 300 ℃·d for three months before flowering and leaf spreading and the period from leaf falling ending to the next flowering and leaf spreading. Moreover, the accumulated precipitation and sunlight should exceed 230 mm and 210 h currently. The cold air within 7 days, especially the one colder than moderate intensity, has a significant impact on the autumn paulownia phenological period, that is, the cold air before the leaf falling will reinforce the defoliation; after the leaf falling, it will accelerate the defoliation; cold air, in two weeks during flowering, will bring the flowering to end in some extent.
