Phenology of tropical rain forest plants raises a number of interesting questions. In a
seemingly aseasonal climate, what cues do plants use for the initiation of vegetative and …

Tropical rainforests include more plant species than any other habitat (Gentry, 1988). An
unmatched variety of phenological patterns contributes to this diversity. This variety is …

One of the most intriguing and complex characteristics of reproductive phenology in tropical
forests is high diversity within and among forests. To understand such diversity, Newstrom et …

easonal changes in the tropics tend to be more subtle than those of the temperate zone,
where annual variation in climate is more extreme. Nonetheless, tropical plants replace …

Many of the forest trees in the aseasonal parts of tropical Asia share a habit of flowering that
is quite unlike the habit of plants elsewhere. Mature trees may grow vegetatively for two to …

Most tropical woody plants produce new leaves and flowers in bursts rather than
continuously, and most tropical forest communities display seasonal variation in the …

Some 128 trees, representing 19 common species with sample sizes of 5 or more, were
studied in the dry tropical forest of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park in northern Thailand. Trees …

Flowering patterns are defined by the timing, duration, and frequency of flowering. Plants,
particularly in the tropics, vary enormously with respect to these main variables of flowering …

The study of phenological aspects of plants involves the observation, recording and
interpretation of the timing of their life history events. This review considers the phenology of …

At irregular intervals of 2 to 10 years the aseasonal tropical rain forests in west Malesia
come into heavy mass flowering, followed by mast fruiting. During a heavy flowering almost …
