Winter climate change mediates the sensitivity of vegetation leaf-out to spring warming in high latitudes in China.

First, we found that the SOS in high latitudes in China showed an overall trend of advancement, but the trend of SOS varied significantly in space and by vegetation types.

However, although spring leaf phenology as a whole has shown a clear trend of advancement with warming, there are notable differences among species and across regions.

In particular, winter temperature (T min and T max ) showed a decreasing trend north of the Greater Khingan Mountains and in the northwestern and central parts of the study area, especially in Region 1 and Region 2, where the SOS significantly advanced.

The advancing trend in SOS was especially pronounced along the northern boundary of the study area ( Figure 3C , Region 1), with a significant trend averaging 1.9 days per decade.

We found that winter precipitation ( Figure 4A ) and spring T min ( Figure 4D ) generally showed an increasing trend across the study area.
