摘要
In tropical deciduous forest in Mexico, Jacaratia mexicana (Caricaceae) and Spondias purpurea (Anacardiaceae) are dioecious, deciduous canopy trees that flower and mature fruits while leafless. The concentration of total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) in the lower trunk is not notably reduced by reproduction in either species, and is depleted by growth only in Jacaratia. Branch TNC in Jacaratia does not differ by season, sex, age, or activity, except that fruiting branches show higher concentrations. In Spondias, at leaf senescence the branches reach TNC concentrations similar to the trunk, and branch TNC depletion is similar between the sexes but greater for reproduction than growth.
