The study will help scientists improve their estimates of which spring plants, whose flowering and leafing is triggered by warmer days, will respond well to increasing temperatures, and which will not. All 22 species of plants included in the study were found to be sensitive to warming temperatures in spring, by changing when their leaves or flowers emerged.
Researchers found that the plants would come into leaf or flower an average of three to eight days sooner for each 1C increase in temperature. Some species may lack the immediate flexibility to keep up with changes to their optimum timing, and may need to adapt over several generations in order to cope. Seven of the 22 species tracked are likely to keep up with future changes in climate, such as silver birch, beech, ash and wood anemone. Four were identified which may struggle to keep up, including bluebell and garlic mustard.
The other 11 species studied did not show a consistent pattern. Christine Tansey, Research and Evidence Coordinator at the Woodland Trust, who led the study at the University of Edinburgh's School of Biological Sciences, said: "Plants have an optimum time for developing leaves and flowers -- if they get it right, this will maximise their chances for growth and reproduction. As long-term temperatures change, it may alter the optimum timing for plants to develop. If Bluebells are taking over, the only way to eradicate them is to dig them out, weedkillers are not found to be very effective.
Dig out when the Bluebells are in bloom, so you can dig down and locate the bulb. It is also best not to compost the bulbs. Although at first glance English and Spanish Bluebells look similar, a simple check will make it easy to tell them apart.

They rarely need watering when growing in the ground, unless the soil dries out during prolonged dry periods in summer. Give them a light feed with a granular general plant food after flowering.
