Soil and stem water storage determine phenology and distribution of tropical dry forest trees
R Borchert - Ecology, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Many trees of tropical dry forests flower or form new shoots soon after leaf shedding during
the dry season, ie, during a period when trees are likely to be severely water stressed. To …
