Abstract

The article reports on the study of the results of seasonal changes in the growth and vegetation of seventeen perennial species which include mesophanerophytes and phanerophytes in the savanna site in Nigeria. The study examines the length, number of nodes, number of leaves, and diameter of sucker shoot as well as of mature perennial plants. It demonstrates that perennial plants' growth and vegetation are affected by fire, photoperiod, and rainfall. It also shows that the leaf relative turgidity of perennial plant species differs due to air, soil moisture, and leaf age.
