Solar radiation and ENSO predict fruiting phenology patterns in a 15-year record from Kibale National Park, Uganda

Fruiting, flowering, and leaf set patterns influence many aspects of tropical forest communities, but there are few long-term studies examining potential drivers of these patterns, particularly in Africa. We evaluated a 15-year dataset of tree phenology in Kibale National Park, Uganda, to identify a...
