The phenological responses of plants to changing weather conditions are very strong and can serve as an indicator of global climate change. If we understand how individual species respond to changing conditions, we can represent how ecosystems will change. The aim of this study was to analyze the exposure of climatic factors (air temperature and precipitation) on the flowering duration of the wild vascular plant species in the Karadag Nature Reserve (Crimea). In general, 152 species were taken i
