Abstract:Phenological processes are strongly affected by environmental conditions. In this study we investigate the phenological patterns of six tree/shrub species in three Caatinga fragments and analyze the influence of rainfall and air temperature on these processes.

Spearman's linear correlation test (r) was applied to verify the influence of meteorolo… Show more
