Phenologies of the Tabonuco Forest trees and shrubs

These data are being used to, among other things, (1) determine the seasonality of flowering and fruiting in Tabonuco forest and test hypotheses concerning the causation of seasonality (or lack thereof), (2) test the effect of annual variation in rainfall and other climatic variables on seed and fruit production of individual species, and (3) compare the relative dispersal of species on the Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot by applying information on the spatial distribution of canopy trees to the data on seed and fruit fall. These data also serve as background information on the flowering and fruiting of individual species.本数据集可用于（涵盖但不限于）以下研究方向：(1) 解析塔博努科森林（Tabonuco forest）的开花与结果物候季节节律，并检验关于该节律（或无节律现象）成因的相关假说；(2) 检验年际降雨变化及其他气候变量对单个物种种实产量的影响效应；(3) 将冠层树木的空间分布信息与种实沉降数据相结合，对比卢基略森林动态样地（Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot）内不同物种的相对传播能力。此外，本数据集还可为单个物种的开花与结果物候提供基础背景参考数据。
