Resumen
A new concept named "gaps of deciduousness" is introduced for the momentary annual bright places that appear under tropical and subtropical deciduous canopy trees when they are leafless, a cyclical kind of gap totally different from treefall gaps, whose importance in the regeneration ecology of these forests until now had not been discussed or evaluated. The aim of this article is to highlight the most significant aspects related to the concept of "gaps of deciduousness" and suggest the importance of developing studies to evaluate its relevance in the discussion of plant species coexistence and biodiversity maintenance in some tropical forests. 66 2 280 284 Condit, R., Watts, K., Bohlman, S., Pérez, R., Foster, R.B., Hubbell, S.P., Quantifying the deciduousness of tropical canopies under varying climates (2000) Journal of Vegetation Science, 11, pp. 649-658 Endler, J.A., The color of light in forests ands its importance (1993) Ecological Monographs, 63, pp. 1-27 Gandolfi, S., Joly, C.A., Rodrigues, R.R., Permeability-impermeability: Canopy trees as biodiversity filters (2007) Scientia Agricola, 64, pp. 433-438 Gandolfi, S., História natural de uma floresta estacional semidecidual no município de Campinas (2000), p. 520. , (São Paulo, Brasil).
