Reproductive phenology in a riparian rainforest in the south of Santa Catarina state, Brazil

Abstract: Phenological studies assist in forest ecosystems comprehension and evaluation of resource availability for wildlife, as well as in improving the understanding of relationships between plants and their pollinators and dispersers. This study aims to describe the reproductive phenophases of riparian plant species and correlate them with climatic variables. The reproductive phenology was analyzed biweekly throughout one year, recording the absence or presence of flowers/fruits. The flowering phenophase occurred th… Show more

“…A similar phenological pattern was found in forests in Northern Thailand, where a majority of dry tropical forest tree species had a flowering peak in March and a fruiting peak in April (Elliot et al, 1994). In the tropical region, with high relative air humidity and no pronounced dry season, riparian forest species have been reported to flower mostly when air temperature changes from cool to warm (Cascaes et al, 2013). On the other hand, in the tropical region where two seasons (wet and dry) are clearly defined, flowers are found to bloom mainly in the dry season and produce fruits in the wet season (de Azevedo et al, 2014).…”

“…Os atributos reprodutivos avaliados foram: síndrome de polinização, determinada por registro na literatura (Lorenzi et al, 1996;Martin-Gajardo et al, 2003;Barroso et al, 2004;EMBRAPA, 2006;Gressler et al, 2006;Pereira et al, 2008;Lorenzi, 2009;Cascaes et al, 2013;Martin et al 2015), classificada como anemofilia, cantarofilia, hidrofilia, falenofilia, miofilia, melitofilia, ornitofilia, psicofilia e quiropterofilia; síndrome de dispersão, determinada por registro na literatura, classificada como anemocoria, autocoria, barocoria e as zoocóricas; e número de sementes, determinada por registro na literatura, classificada como monospérmica, dispérmica ou polispérmica.…”

“…A fenofase reprodutiva da planta tem uma grande influência na população de animais polinizadores e dispersores que fazem parte do ecossistema (Girão et al, 2007;Cascaes et al, 2013), que por sua vez, dependem dos recursos oferecidos pelas plantas para sua sobrevivência (Obermuller et al, 2008) e permanência nos fragmentos florestais. Espécies com longos períodos de frutificação e floração são, portanto, vitais para fornecer recurso alimentar aos animais, assegurando sua permanência no ambiente (Cara, 2006;Cascaes et al, 2013 Estudos realizados na Mata Atlântica sugerem que outros fatores influenciam nas fenofases reprodutivas, além dos fatores ambientais (Morellato et al, 2000). Um padrão sazonal é observado na floração com picos relacionados a mudança de temperatura, durante a transição do período frio para o período mais quente, de setembro a janeiro (Morellato et al, 2000;Talora e Morellato, 2000;Athayde et al, 2009;Cascaes et al, 2013).…”
