Note. Meteorological variables (excluding snow and precipitation) were calculated using data from the tall tower (US‐PFa) shown in Figure 1. Snow and precipitation data were supplied by the nearby Minocqua, WI cooperative weather station. Representative statistics were calculated using annual data, with the meteorological record spanning 1996–2020. Phenological variables were calculated using pooled annual data from the three sites equipped with PhenoCams (US‐Los, US‐WCr, and US‐Syv); the earliest phenological record began in 2012.
