CONT

[In] a phenomenon known as masting, ... trees of the same species periodically produce an overabundance of seed ...

OBS

The consequence of mast seeding for the organization of a plant community is that instead of a few new seedlings establishing themselves every year, major pulses occur over time, during which new plants become established and old plants die.

CONT

La paisson réfère à la production de fruits d’arbres forestiers tels que les chênes, les hêtres et les châtaigniers. La quantité de fruits change d’année en année : lorsque l’arbre produit peu, on parle de demi-paisson et lorsque les fruits sont en abondance, on parle de paisson pleine.
