The seasonal progression of phenophases in 21 shrub species of the Chilean matorral was analyzed. Five "modules" or basic units that are responsible for the aboveground architecture of the plants were characterized. These modules appear to be organized in seven different spatial arrangements. In drought-deciduous species a module type with an "absolute short shoot" with limited apical growth, leafy or spiny, predominated. In evergreen species "long shoot" and "temporal leafy short shoot" module types were more frequent. The spatial arrangement of morphologically different modules and the temporal sequence of their formation allow a dynamic interpretation of the modular architecture of the plants.
对智利马托拉尔地区21种灌木物种物候期的季节性变化进行了分析。确定了负责植物地上结构的五个“模块”或基本单元。这些模块似乎以七种不同的空间排列方式组织起来。在干旱落叶物种中，一种具有有限顶端生长、多叶或多刺的“绝对短枝”模块类型占主导地位。在常绿物种中，“长枝”和“临时多叶短枝”模块类型更为常见。形态不同的模块的空间排列及其形成的时间顺序，使得对植物模块化结构的动态解读成为可能。
