title: Phenology data collected between 2011 and 2024 in Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh, India

description: This dataset consists of the raw phenology data collected monthly between January 2011 and December 2024 in Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh, India. The geographical scope of the study was the lowland semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forests of Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh, India.
