Abstract
This paper discusses the spatial distribution of the early spring minimum t
emperature and the length of the growing season in eastern Colorado. It is
shown that even in the relatively homogeneous landscape, there are signific
ant differences in long-term trends of these data. The authors conclude tha
t the direction and magnitude of regional climate trends cannot be reliably
inferred from single-site records, even over relatively homogeneous terrai
n.
