Patterns of Seed Rain at the Edge of a Tropical Queensland Rain Forest

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1989
ABSTRACTBoth vertebrate- and wind-dispersed seeds moved farther from rain forest into old field than from old field into forest. Vertebrate-dispersed seeds from the rain forest moved farther into the field than wind-dispersed seeds, but seeds of both types moved similar distances from field into forest.Habitat structure affected seed deposition ...

Ficus Seed Shadows in a Bornean Rain Forest

Oecologia, 1996
Due to their copious seed production and numerous dispersers, rain forest fig trees have been assumed to produce extensive and dense seed shadows. To test this idea, patterns of seed dispersal of two species of large hemiepiphytic fig tree were measured in a Bornean rain forest. The sample included four Ficus stupenda and three F.

Seed Rain and Seed Limitation in a Planted Gallery Forest in Brazil

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, 2006
Abstract With seeds collected monthly during one year from 53 1‐m2 seed traps, we investigated the seed rain and seed limitation in a gallery forest planted in 1994 in SE Brazil. Contrasting animal‐ (zoochorous) and wind‐dispersed (anemochorous) plants we investigated (1) which aspects of the composition and structure of the vegetation influence the ...

Seed Rain in a Tropical Agricultural Landscape

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2009
Abstract:Seed dispersal into fragmented tropical landscapes limits the rate and character of ecological succession between forest remnants. In a novel experiment in recovery of dispersal between forest remnants, 120 1-m2 seed traps were placed in fenced plots in active pasture 90–250 m from forest, and in nearby primary and secondary forests.

Response of Soybean Seed Germination to Cadmium and Acid Rain

Biological Trace Element Research, 2011
Cadmium (Cd) pollution and acid rain are the main environmental issues, and they often occur in the same agricultural region. Nevertheless, up to now, little information on the combined pollution of Cd(2+) and acid rain action on crops were presented. Here, we investigated the combined effect of Cd(2+) and acid rain on the seed germination of soybean ...

Sowing seeds in the rain

2023
This dissertation study explores the lived experiences of three graduate writers. Using narrative inquiry and ethnographic methods, I collected and analyzed data that focused on how three graduate writers, in two PhD programs housed within the same college of education, perceived and experienced their writing projects and themselves as writers.

Seed rain to tree-fall gaps in a Neotropical rain forest

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1990
We monitored both the seed rain and fruit production in the vicinity of four recent tree-fall gaps in the old-growth forest at the La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. Seeds were collected in trays of seed-sterilized soil distributed throughout the center of the gaps and left in place for 2 months; seeds were identified from seedlings that ...
