This broad range was important in spring phenological stages. High correlations were determined between the mean air temperature, soil temperature and the start of phenological stages. Relationships between the onset of phenological stages and changes in meteorological parameters were expressed by the sum of effective air temperatures exceeding 0 and 5 °C. To evaluate the relationships by means of the sum of effective temperatures &gt;5 °C, the stage of budbreak was most important.The onset of budbreak in Norway spruce occurred on average in the 125<sup>th</sup> day in the period 2005 to 2008. First, the stage of budbreak in spruce began the 121<sup>st</sup> day and at the latest the 128<sup>th</sup> day in 2005. The most often budbreak was in 2007. The onset of foliage in spruce began between the 128<sup>th</sup> day and the 136<sup>th</sup> day. Full 100% foliage occurred in 2007, viz. the 159<sup>th</sup> day, i.e. 12 day earlier than in the previous year. In 2005, full foliage occurred the 171<sup>st</sup> day. The air and soil temperatures affected spring phenological stages during the early spring, which was demonstrated by high correlation coefficients.
