Botany 4-6 months. Dehiscence was positively correlated with the number of days of precipitation within 3 months. Emergence, growth, and dehiscence were negatively correlated with some measures of temperature and precipitation, especially higher precipitation within 7-9 months.Our results indicate an important, but complicated, impact of seasonal variation in temperatures and precipitation on the phenology of hand fern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
