Hydrochorous seed dispersal in riparian forests altered by urbanization

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
While riparian habitat alterations from urban stream syndrome are known to affect vegetation establishment and survival, the degree to which riparian seed delivery by hydrochory is affected by urbanization is unclear. We hypothesized that (1) there would

One year spread and insight into ecology of invasive Impatiens glandulifera in Ljubljansko barje area (Central Slovenia)

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2022
Impatiens glandulifera Royle (Himalayan balsam) is an annual plant, native to humid parts of the Himalayas. Brought to Europe in the XIX century, it has since successfully naturalized and spread throughout the continent, becoming one of the best ...

The Molecular Evidence for Invasive Climber Echinocystis lobata (Michx.) Torr. & A. Gray in Eastern and Central Europe

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
The climbing cucurbit Echinocystis lobata, native to North America and alien to many European countries, was assessed for its genetic diversity and differentiation across its introduced range of populations by applying markers of amplified fragment ...

Hydrochory as a determinant of genetic distribution of seeds within Hibiscus moscheutos (Malvaceae) populations [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, 2007
Seed dispersal is a major determinant of the spatial genetic structure of plant populations. In this study, we evaluated the role of distinct hydrologic regimes in determining the spatial genetic structure of the seed bank of the wetland plant Hibiscus moscheutos.

Functional trait interactions drive seed buoyancy and dispersal strategies in Echinocystis lobata [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
Hydrochory (water dispersal) is a major driver of plant invasions in riparian landscapes but both the diaspore traits that determine flotation and the contribution of water-mediated transport to the colonization success of non-native species remain ...

Buoyancy and survival of weed seeds in container nursery irrigation ponds

open access: yesWeed Technology
Weed seed buoyancy and survival in irrigation ponds were investigated as part of a larger study evaluating the potential for weed seed spread via overhead irrigation in container nurseries. Seed buoyancy was assessed for 13 weed species commonly found in
