“…Of the studies on the influence of air temperature and the photoperiod on plant growth, most have been carried out on agricultural crops, like strawberry (Tazzo et al 2015), sunflower (Souza et al 2016), rice (Steinmetz et al 2017), potato (Bisognin et al 2017), grape (Pedro Júnior and Hernandes 2018), lettuce (Tezza and Minuzzi 2019), and arugula (Barreiros et al 2021) and focused on germination, seedling establishment, budding, flowering, fruiting, and ripening. However, studies of this nature on tropical forest species are still scarce and have focused only on those of commercial interest, such as Eucalyptus at the seedling Freitas and Martins 2019) and flowering stages (Rawal et al 2015), and some Brazilian forest species at the germination (Daibes et al 2019) and seedling stages (Martins et al 2022c).…”
