  abstract = {{P}redictions of the magnitude and timing of leaf phenology in {A}mazonian forests remain highly controversial. {H}ere, we use terrestrial {L}i{DAR} surveys every two weeks spanning wet and dry seasons in {C}entral {A}mazonia to show that plant phenology varies strongly across vertical strata in old-growth forests, but is sensitive to disturbances arising from forest fragmentation. {I}n combination with continuous microclimate measurements, we find that when maximum daily temperatures reached 35 degrees {C} in the latter part of the dry season, the upper canopy of large trees in undisturbed forests lost plant material. {I}n contrast, the understory greened up with increased light availability driven by the upper canopy loss, alongside increases in solar radiation, even during periods of drier soil and atmospheric conditions. {H}owever, persistently high temperatures in forest edges exacerbated the upper canopy losses of large trees throughout the dry season, whereas the understory in these light-rich environments was less dependent on the altered upper canopy structure. {O}ur findings reveal a strong influence of edge effects on phenological controls in wet forests of {C}entral {A}mazonia. {E}ven evergreen tropical forests can have seasonal dynamics, which may be sensitive to disturbance. {H}ere, the authors combine high-resolution remote sensing observations and microclimate data to show that forest fragmentation impacts canopy phenology dynamics in the {A}mazon forest.},
