For many species, understanding how climate influences the timing of seasonal life history events (phenology) is limited by the availability of long-term data. Further, long-term studies of plant phenology are often local in scale. Recent efforts to digitize herbarium collections make it possible to examine large numbers of specimens from multiple species over broad geographic regions. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), understory plant species found in old-growth forests may be buffered against climate warming (
