The aim of this study was to investigate the reproductive period of LTS in order to estimate seed sources availability for the forest restoration process in the sub-montaneous forests. Twenty permanent plots (20 × 20 m) were identified at Mt. Masigit-Kareumbi. Observations regarding flowering and fruiting were conducted on 399 individual LTS (78 species, 29 families) that had a diameter at breast height of more than 10 cm. This activity was done every month: period I was from July 2015 to June 2016, and period II was from July 2016 to June 2017. The results showed that the number of flowering–fruiting trees in period I was higher than it had been in period II. Peak flowering–fruiting occurred in period I (30.1% of the total individuals), and the lowest flowering–fruiting occurred in period II (10.5% of total individuals). 242 individual trees (60.7%) in total, comprising 57 species (73.1%), were flowered–fruited. Most LTS had short durations of reproductive phases. The shortest flowering duration was 0.1–0.8 months (61.7%), the shortest flowering–fruiting duration was 0.1–0.5 months (80.0%), and the shortest fruiting duration was 0.1–1.0 months (59.4%). Flowers and fruits or seeds were always available all year round. To support seed availability for forest restoration, the best time for fruit or seed collection is December to January.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Duration of reproductive phase,Flowering–fruiting,Local tree species,Plant diversity,Tropical forest[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Part of this study was funded by Domestic Postgraduate Education Scholarship (BPP-DN) of Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education Republic of Indonesia to the first author. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Natural Resources Conservation Bureau (BBKSDA) of West Java Province who was given the opportunity to perform long-term research at Mt. Masigit Kareumbi Reserve. We also express our appreciation to Head of Resort Kareumbi Timur and staff for supporting our research in the field. In particular, we would like to thank local community of Mt. Masigit Kareumbi, especially Pak Awo and Pak Ahin who made this research possible. I would also like to thank the management of the School of Life Sciences and Technology, Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) which has given first author the opportunity to continue studies during doctoral program in biology, ITB.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1007/s42965-019-00007-2[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
