Phenological cycles in the Pantanal woody communities: Responses to climate and soil moisture seasonality

communities and the months of the year (from 1 to 12, corresponding to January to Decem- ber) for the activities of leaf fall, flowering, and fruiting of each species. Leaf fall activity is con- sidered when it is above or equal to 50%. PL < 50%: Partial Leaf Fall (less than 50%); LY: Leaf Fall Lost Year-round (� 50%). Communities: Cerrado Savanna (CS), Invaded Savanna (IS), Parkland Savanna (PS), Shrubland (SHB), Lowland Seasonal Semideciduous Forest (LSDF), Alluvial Seasonal Semideciduous Forest (ASDF), and Semi-evergreen Monodominant Forest of Vochysia divergens (MF). (DOCX) S1 Appendix. Dataset containing the original data utilized in the phenological study con- ducted in the Pantanal Mato-grossense, SESC Baı´a das Pedras, Pocone´ municipality, Mato Grosso (Brazil). It encompasses information on reproductive and vegetative phenology, envi- ronmental data, and results from derived analyses. (XLSX) Acknowledgments We dedicate this work to the memory of the UFMT technician He´lio Ferreira for his invalu- able support, which contributed significantly to our research and that of many young scientists in plant ecology at the UFMT. We are thankful for the technical and logistic support provided by the Federal University of Mato Grosso, the SESC Pantanal (Brazilian Social Service of Com- merce), the Pantanal Research Center (CPP), and the National Institute for Science and Tech- nology of Wetlands (INAU).
