Degree days represent the accumulation of heat energy over time. Heat strongly influences both plant and animal life, but since heat itself cannot be measured directly, temperature is used instead. This led to the development of the degree day model, which links accumulated air temperature to the growth and development of organisms. To track plant development phases (ph...
