Examination of records taken by one naturalist over 32 years (1970-2002) indicates that there is a tie between the timing of spring phenology temperature leading up to spring. Specifically, warmer temperatures in the months leading up to spring leads to earlier flowering.

A study published in the journal Global Change Biology indicates that over the course of fourteen years (1989-2002), the duration of the green canopy of the Hubbard Experimental Forest in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, has increased by ten days. This finding includes the Sugar Maple, American Beech, and Yellow Birch.

Additional changes have been observed in the maple sugar industry, and can be found here as reported in news media.

NOAA researchers have analyzed annual spring survey data for the northwest Atlantic from 1968-2007, and found that some fish stocks have been moving North and down, seeking colder waters, including the Atlantic Cod in New England's waters.

Research at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) Ecosystems Center indicates that the range of fiddler crabs has moved north by as much as 80km, into the coast of New Hampshire. The link to climate change has not been clearly shown, but it's the leading hypothesis as to why their range has changed.

Northern shrimp populations have collapsed, leading to the closure of the Maine shrimp fishery for the year of 2014. A decade of warmer-than-average temperatures has been implicated in the lack of successful reproduction.

Examination of records taken by one naturalist over 32 years (1970-2002) in Middleborough, MA indicates that there is a tie between the timing of spring phenology and temperature in the months leading up to spring. First calls are heard 3.7 days earlier for every 1 degree Celsius temperature increase in the two months prior.

Between 1900 and 1999, average first calling date has moved 13.6 days earlier.

Research done in New Hampshire between 1993 and 2008 showed a connection between precipitation and the success of reproduction. If there's more water in the summer, there are more insects, and so a better chance that the offspring will survive.
