Phenological documentation and plant invasion are key contemporary issues in the biological sciences. Recognizing this, the present paper describes the phenological stages of an invasive species, Sapium sebiferum (L.) Roxb. A tree of the species was marked, and daily visits were made for recording its phenology. The Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bundessortenamt and CHemical industry (BBCH) scale was used for documenting the same. Of the total ten principal stages, eight were observed in the species. These stages started with bud development (stage 01) in the month of March and ended with leaf fall (stage 97) in the month of December. Descriptions of the phenological stages and their dates are provided in the text. It is hoped that such a phenological scale will be helpful in managing plant invasion.
物候记录与植物入侵是当代生物学领域的关键问题。认识到这一点，本文描述了入侵物种乌桕（Sapium sebiferum (L.) Roxb.）的物候阶段。标记了一棵该物种的树，并每天进行观察以记录其物候情况。使用了德国联邦生物研究中心、联邦品种局和化学工业（BBCH）标准来记录。在总共十个主要阶段中，该物种观察到了八个阶段。这些阶段始于3月的芽发育（01阶段），止于12月的落叶（97阶段）。文中提供了物候阶段及其日期的描述。希望这样的物候标准有助于管理植物入侵。
