While the response of the start of the growing season (SOS) to the rising temperature has been widely studied, the mechanisms by which pre-seasonal meteorological drought influence spring phenology in forest ecosystems across different hydroclimatic regions remain poorly understood.

However, the climate-phenology-hydrology nexus has rarely been investigated in subtropical forested watersheds, which remain underexplored due to their year-round vegetation activity complicating the phenological shift detection, and highly variable seasonal rainfall introducing uncertainty in hydrological modeling.
