Flow regulation affects temporal patterns of riverine plant seed dispersal: Potential implications for plant recruitment

open access: yes, 2012
1. Changes to the natural flow regime of a river caused by flow regulation may affect waterborne seed dispersal (hydrochory), and this may be an important mechanism by which regulation affects riverine plant communities. We assessed the effect of altered

Seed dispersal, germination and fine-scale genetic structure in the stream lily, Helmholtzia glaberrima (philydraceae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Seed dispersal in aquatic habitats is often considered to be a complex multistage process, where initial seed shadows are redistributed by water (hydrochory).

Fire and runoff as complementary ecological filters shaping dormancy release and recruitment in Cistus albidus L.

open access: yesEcological Processes
Background Physical dormancy in Mediterranean Cistaceae is commonly interpreted as a fire-related adaptation. Yet in semi-arid catchments, hard-coated seeds are also exposed to sediment-laden runoff, where abrasion, transport and water availability may ...

Analysis of Kissimmee River floodplain seed dispersal for vegetation community restoration

open access: yes, 2012
This research examined the influence of hydrochory (seed dispersal via water), anemochory (seed dispersal via wind), and zoochory (seed dispersal by animals) on the re-establishment of the important floodplain vegetation communities of the Kissimmee ...

Long distance dispersal of Rumex alpinus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Long-distance dispersal of Rumex alpinus was studied in the Giant Mountain in the National Park. The invasion of R. alpinus is there kind of problem.

Assessing the presence of weed seeds in surface irrigation water in container nurseries

open access: yesWeed Technology
Nursery crop producers in the southeastern United States use open ponds of captured water for irrigating container-grown plants, often without filtration. Many growers perceive irrigation water as a source of weed seed dispersal, but data on the presence

Float, fly, then sink: wetland plant seed buoyancy is lost after internal dispersal by waterbirds

open access: yes
Seed dispersal distance is an important indicator of how well a plant species can cope with environmental changes. Seeds of wetland plants are primarily dispersed by hydrochory (floating on the water surface) or endozoochory (ingestion and egestion by ...
