We validated the database design through the implementation of a Web application that generates the time series based on queries, exemplified in two case studies investigating: the relationship between flowering phenology and local weather; and the consistency between leafing patterns derived from ground-based phenology on leaf flush and from vegetation image indices (%Green).
We found that leaf flush and leaf fall occurred throughout the year for all species.
Canopy bud break and leaf flush occurred first in quaking aspen stands followed by sugar maple, oak/hickory, white ash and black locust stands, respectively.
Moisture appears to be a major determinant of the timing of leaf flush in the dry tropical forest of Ghana (Lieberman 1982).
This is further supported by bulk foliar δ13C values, which are 13C-enriched during the period of leaf flush, relative to the end of the growing season.
Among the 22 species, leaf flush or leaf initiation becomes more pronounced from February (seven species with10%) and peaks in April (15 species with 23%) in the dry season for species such as Acrocarpus fraxinifolius, Anogeissus latifolia, Tectona grandis, and Terminalia paniculata.

Even in Dioon, there is no evidence of annual growth rings, so that age estimates must rely on other evidence, most often on counts of the whorls of leaf scars, which can be related to annual or biennial production of new leaf flushes.
Rapid increase was attributed to leaf flushing and occurred in 85% of all crowns.
These results suggest that either leaf flushing is restricted at the expense of maintaining stored carbon reserves, or a proportion of stored starches within stems were not accessible during leaf-flushing.
Nanda et al. (20112013b) reported synchronization of flowering and leaf flushing in a few species of the present study, namely Schleichera oleosa and Lagerstroemia lanceolata, which seem to be related to moisture, temperature, and day length, and this observation, is in conformity with those of Boojh and Ramakrishnan (1981) and Murali and Sukumar (1994).
In France, Bréda et al. (2006) showed that reduced starch concentration in Q. petraea at the end of a dry summer resulted in greater branch dieback and incomplete budbreak and leaf-flushing the following spring; yet starch concentrations were not completely depleted.
