摘要：Plant phenology helps to understand the dynamics and maintenance of ecological processes in ecosystems, because it can predict the frequency of these events. In this study, we characterize the reproductive and vegetative phenology of three annual woody plant species: Byrsonima microphylla A.Juss. (Malpighiaceae), Chamaecrista ramosa (Vogel) H.S.Irwin & Barneby (Fabaceae) and Vellozia dasypus Seub. (Veloziaceae). Ten individuals of each species were monitored monthly, from October 2014 to September 2015, during a year in apatch of resting in the Brazilian State of Bahia. Flowering and fruiting were continuous in both B. microphylla and C. ramosa, but annual it was more synchronized in V. dasypus. All species phenophases showed no direct correlation with abiotic factors studied. Having flowers and fruits in different stages makes resources available to animal of floral and fruit visitors throughout the year highlighting the importance of these common restinga species, especially when considering the seasonality of this ecosystem.
