Monitoring of regenerative and reproductive features
of plants across the year, in order to obtain their characteristic
cycles
as well as their responses to seasonal and climatic changes.
Setup:
8
km of standardized transects (width 1-2m) across habitat types
Marking
of all trees (dbh > 10cm) and their associated
lianas
Results: 3 years of data collection complete.
No detailed analyses so far.
3 years, we observed 1001 trees
and their 1873 associated lianas.
Analyses will provide information on the availability of
fruit, leaves or flowers for consumption. We consider the monitoring
of their life histories as an essential prerequisite for a
future sustainable use.
