The present study aimed to evaluate dominant phenological patterns of Ceiba speciosa and Koelreuteria paniculata on the campus of UNALM, from May 2022 to June 2023, conducting weekly observations. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was utilized for statistical analysis, examining the relationship between climatic variables (temperature and relative humidity) and phenological events (flowering, fruiting, and leafing). The phenological assessment of both species was complemented with the identification of potential ecosystem services involved, employing the framework of Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP’s), classified into material, non-material, and regulatory categories. Results revealed a strong and highly significant association (p-value < 0.001) between flowering and flower drop in C. speciosa. For K. paniculata, fruit drop exhibited a significant association with dissemi...
