Title:	The periodicity of growth in tropical trees with special reference to Dipterocarpaceae - a review
Date:	1995
Source:	IAWA Journal
Abstract:	The periodicity of leaf change and flowering and fruiting of tropical trees is discussed. Cambial activity patterns in tropical trees are reviewed. Emphasis is put on research undertaken in South-East Asia on the most important timber family in that region, the Dipterocarpaceae. There is an urgent need for more information on the effects of rainfall patterns and phenological periodicity on cambial activity and ring formation in this family.
