Climate change has emerged as one of the most significant drivers of ecological transformation, with plant phenology serving as a sensitive indicator of environmental variation. Shifts in the timing of budburst, flowering, fruiting, and senescence are among the most widely documented biological responses to rising temperatures, altered precipitation regimes, and elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide. These phenological shifts are complex, species-specific, and context-dependent, leading to cascading effects across ecosystems. Changes in phenological events disrupt synchrony between plants and their pollinators, herbivores, seed dispersers, and decomposers, potentially weakening ecological networks and biodiversity resilience. While some plants benefit from extended growing seasons and enhanced productivity, others face reproductive losses due to mismatches and exposure to climatic extremes such as late frosts or droughts. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the drivers of phenological shifts, their consequences for plant ecological interactions, and the broader implications for ecosystem functioning under climate change. By integrating evidence from long-term observations, experimental studies, and predictive models, this paper highlights the urgent need to strengthen monitoring networks and adaptive conservation strategies to mitigate climate-induced disruptions in plant–ecosystem relationships.
