A Review on Phenological Study of Selected Tree Species

Abstract

Phenology is major source of information about the beginning of growing season in different climate conditions. This reference article provides a brief introduction to the discipline, relevance and significance of phenology. The central part of the article reviews phenological observation methods and multiple disciplines, including ecology, evolutionary biology and remote sensing with long-term monitoring data. Phenological study is useful to understand periodicity of the life span of plants. Phenological observations were taken for plant tree species for their phenological events, viz. leaf initiation, leaf fall, flowering and fruiting. The variations in phenophases occurs due to environmental conditions, habitat and soil availability as well as the nutrient content of the soil, which was adapted to the habitats in according to abiotic and biotic factors.
