However, it is poorly understood how seed dispersal responds to hydrological conditions. To close this gap, we conducted a common‐garden experiment exposing five wind‐dispersed plant species ( Bellis perennis , Chenopodium album , Crepis sancta , Hypochaeris glabra , and Hypochaeris radicata ) ...
Seed - Wind Dispersal, Pollination, Germination: In the modern world, wind dispersal (although numerically important) reflects the climatic and biotic poverty of certain regions; it is essentially a feature of pioneer vegetations. The flora of the Alps i

Long-distance dispersal of seed by wind is usually considered to be important for the evolutional processes of plant species. The settlement velocity of a wind-dispersed seed is a major component of its dispersal ability. In this paper, the seed settlement velocity of five weed species with papp...
The latter factor provides ample opportunity for the development of adaptations for dispersal, such as plumes for wind dispersal, barbs, and others. 1 of 2 caraway seeds(more) 2 of 2 castor bean seedsCastor bean seeds used to make oil cakes.(more) Economically, seeds are important primarily ...
Since the effect of wind speed variation on dispersal distance was larger than seed size variation, the potential variation in dispersal efficiency of seeds was not reflected in the actual dispersal patterns in the field. Thus, the adaptive significance of seed size variation may exist in ...

Vertical seed dispersal, i.e. seed dispersal towards a higher or lower altitude, is considered a critical process for plant escape from climate change. However, studies exploring vertical seed dispersal are scarce, and thus, its direction, frequency, and
Mature seeds are often winged (Figure 5.20H,I), an adaptation for seed dispersal by wind. In some conifers, e.g., Podocarpaceae and Taxaceae, the seed cones are greatly reduced, such that bracts and ovuliferous scales are only present as developmental remnants or modified to form a ...
