Every spring, crowds flock to admire Japan's cherry blossom -- a dazzling pink and white bloom that has been revered in the country for more than a thousand years.
The trend of earlier peak blooms coincides with rising temperatures. Average March temperatures in Kyoto city center have increased by several degrees since pre-industrial times, under the influence of both climate change and urban warming, the scientists observed. "Our research shows that not only have human-induced climate change and urban warming already impacted the flowering dates of cherry blossom in Kyoto, but that extremely early flowering dates, as in 2021, are now estimated to be 15 times more likely, and are expected to occur at least once a century," said lead author and Met Office climate scientist, Dr. Nikos Christidis.
"Spring cherry blossom flowering is a culturally significant event in Japan," said contributing author Yasuyuki Aono, from Osaka Metropolitan University. Spring festivals that accompany the blooms are an important contributor to the local economy, so being able to predict the bloom's timing can be critical.-- Japanese for"flower viewing" -- is a popular activity.
The impact of rising temperatures on nature's calendar has trickle-down effects on farming and land management practices in the country, the study said.
