Abstract:

Checklist of common plant species targeted for phenological research and collection in 2015-2016 on Oahu Island. Seeds of these species are believed to have desiccation tolerant seed storage behavior. Orthodox seeds can be dried, without damage, to low moisture contents, usually much lower than those they would normally achieve in nature. Over a wide range of storage environments their longevity increases with reductions in both moisture content and temperature, in a quantifiable and predictable way.

Notes: DNLR Permit: ODF-091115R on file with the Division of Forestry and Wildlife Administration Office.
