Phenology of important tree species from different areas of Ahmedabad

The Phenological events of plant species includes seed germination, vegetative growth, flowering, fruit formation, fruit maturation, leaf fall, seed dispersal, and death which can be recorded month wise, season wise and also region wise by diagram and it provide us valuable information. Selected tree species and their branches were tagged for observations of various phenological events at these study sites, and visited these sites at least three times in a month for observations. Observations were made during the interval between two sampling dates (usually 10 days) and presented as phenogram. In all specific trees, the following phenological events were observed viz. 1) Leafing 2) Flowering 3) Fruiting and 4) Leaf fall. The variations in phenophases are due to changes in environmental conditions, habitat, and soil availability, as well as the nutrient content of the soil, which was adapted according to its surrounding abiotic and biotic environment of this study area.
