Read my latest research on #SeedEcology of #ToddyPalm, published with @SpringerNature in #PlantEcolgy
link.springer.com/article/10.100…
It is nicely led by @SimbarasheDMud, my former student from @nalanda_univ
We began this as a hobby project, & it turned into a rewarding experience.

Today marks 52 Sundays of observing trees @nalanda_univ for the saddle of bicycle. I've learnt plant phenology like never before, from buds to bare branches I have witnessed trees' pulses. Thanks to the mentorship of @shyamphartyal & @seasonwatch_in for bringing this initiative.

@shyamphartyal @nalanda_univ @seasonwatch_in @mizoramuni Really missed you, anyway will try to carry on with the great work you started. Just a few highlights from today's observations: chinaberry (M. azedarach) and pride of india (L. Speciosa)
