Abstract
Over the last few decades, many plant species have shown significant advances in the date on which they germinate, flush their leaves or begin flowering. However, some species are not changing their phenology and risk falling behind as their competitors and pollinators adapt to the warming climate. In this study, we tested the idea that photoperiod-sensitive species are less likely to advance their flowering time than species without photoperiod sensitivity and look for ways to predict which species are sensitive to photoperiod using phenology and two life history characteristics. We found that on average, plants that respond to long daylengths (over 12 hours) are not changing their flowering time as rapidly as plants that respond to short daylengths (under 12 hours) or plants with no photoperiod requirements. It is not possible to predict which species are sensitive to photoperiod with phylogeny, but herbs and annual species are more likely to be photoperiod-sensitive than are woody or perennial species. In the past, photoperiod sensitivity may have helped plants ignore unseasonal weather extremes. Our findings suggests plants with long-day photoperiod requirements are responding differently to climate change than other plants.

whereas "na" means that a plant has been recorded as having no photoperiod requirements.
Description of the data and file structure
I. Details
Appendix 1: Photoperiod Sensitivity
Csv table with raw data manually entered for
"Photoperiod Sensitive plants have lower rate of flowering time advancement".
II. Data Fields
species = species name
photoperiodism = photoperiod sensitivity type
(na = not photoperiod, ld = long-day, sd = short day, id = intermediate-day, sld/lsd = combinations of long and short day, ad = ambiphotoperiodic, yes = photoperiod responsive)
cultivar = cultivar status if available
reference = where the information was obtained
notes
sensitivity_yn = photoperiodism converted to logical format
I. Details
Appendix 2: Flowering Time
Csv table with combined data for
"Photoperiod Sensitive plants have lower rate of flowering time advancement".
II. Data Fields
species = species name
doy = "day of year" where first flowering was observed for that year (in leap-years number was multiplied by 365/366 to maintain consistency with non-leap years)
year = year in which the first flowering was observed
source = original source of data
Methods
Data was compiled from an ISI Web of Science keyword search and additional papers and reference books were added by looking through references of those identified in the search, as well as highly cited literature reviews on photoperiod sensitivity. Data was manually entered after each source was read and species names were checked against The Plant List (http://www.theplantlist.org/).
Usage notes
Data gathered in the literature search for this study containing species, type of photoperiod sensitivity, whether there is a photoperiod requirement (y/n), source and notes collected on the photoperiod requirements for flowering.
