About Jungle Rhythms
The Jungle Rhythms project aims to transcribe hand-drawn observations of the life cycle events of more than 2,000 trees (of more than 500 different species!) between 1937 and 1958 in the tropical rainforest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Long-term observations of tropical trees are rare. The Jungle Rhythms observations comprise three decades of data on the central African tropical forest, and are therefore an extraordinary source of information on the life cycles of tropical trees.
This project was made possible with support of the Belgian Science Policy Office (Congo Basin integrated monitoring for forest carbon mitigation and biodiversity; contract no. SD/AR/01A), Institut National pour l’Etude et la Recherche Agronomiques (INERA) at Yangambi and the National Science Foundation’s Macro-system Biology Program (award EF-1065029).
