The role of hydrochory in structuring riparian and wetland vegetation

Biological Reviews, 2010
Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory and its ecological consequences has increased considerably and a substantial body of literature has been produced.

Hydrochory increases riparian plant species richness: a comparison between a free-flowing and a regulated river

Journal of Ecology, 2005
Summary The importance of dispersal for plant community structure is poorly understood. Previous studies have hypothesized that patterns in the distribution and genetic structure of riparian plant communities were caused by hydrochory, i.e. plant dispersal by water.

Evidence for hydrochory and the deposition of viable seeds within winter flow-deposited sediments: the River Dove, Derbyshire, UK

River Research and Applications, 2003
AbstractPrevious studies of the influence of hydrochory on plant dispersal have focused on relationships with existing vegetation patterns or litter deposits. River sediment deposition studies have assessed sediment accretion rates, particle size and quality.

Hydrochory in agricultural landscapes

2022
<p>Maintaining biodiversity of spontaneous species in agricultural landscapes is a major challenge regarding the bundle of ecosystem services provided by them, such as preservation of water and soil resources. It is possible to increase landscape’s resilience to climate change through their renaturalization with ...

How long do seeds float? The potential role of hydrochory in passive revegetation management

River Research and Applications, 2022
AbstractDespite research into the dynamics of seed transport in fluvial systems, few consider how far seeds will travel, and how far from local or upstream seed sources passive regeneration can occur. We experimentally test the seed floating time of 60 plant species (50 native and 10 exotic) commonly found in riparian corridors of southeastern ...

Experimentation, modelling, and simulation of hydrochory in an Amazonian river

Freshwater Biology, 2022
Abstract Seed transport by hydrochory is a key mechanism of long‐distance dispersal constrained by attributes of the seed and hydrodynamics of the river, influenced by seasonal precipitation and hydrological pulses. However, the extent to which a hydrodynamic model can predict seed dispersal influenced by a tributary is unknown.

River networks and ecological corridors: Reactive transport on fractals, migration fronts, hydrochory [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 2007
Moving from a recent quantitative model of the US colonization in the 19th century that relies on analytical and numerical results of reactive‐diffusive transport on fractal river networks, this paper considers its generalization to include an embedded flow direction which biases transport. We explore the properties of biased reaction‐dispersal models,

The river shapes the genetic diversity of common reed in the Yellow River Delta via hydrochory dispersal and habitat selection

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Understanding the driving mechanisms of local genetic diversity is a fundamental challenge under the global environmental changes. Rivers provide an excellent study system to demonstrate the effects of hydrochory dispersal and habitat selection on genetic diversity of riparian flora.
