Long-Term Effects of Climate Variability on Seed Rain Dynamics of Four Fagaceae Sympatric Species in Qinling Mountains, China. [PDF]
Biology (Basel), 2022 Seed rain, as the beginning of species dispersal, is a key process for forest structure and regeneration. In this study, the seed rain of four Fagaceae sympatric plant species (Castaneamollissima, Quercus aliena, Quercus variabilis, and Quercus serrata ...

SEED BANKS IN A SUBTROPICAL RAIN FOREST
Reinwardtia, 1992 The seasonal populations and vertical distribution of seed banks in a subtropical rain foirest were assesed. No seasonal variations were indicated in either the species composition or the size of seed bank over a year period. The number of seeds were 550 - 603 m square, and mostly composed of secondari species. This population decreased with increasing

Late-season surveys to document seed rain potential of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) and waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) in Texas cotton. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 Weed escapes are often present in large production fields prior to harvest, contributing to seed rain and species persistence. Late-season surveys were conducted in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fields in Texas in 2016 and 2017 to identify common weed ...

Decaying Logs Shape the Distribution of Bird-Mediated Seed Rain in a Temperate Deciduous Forest. [PDF]
Ecol EvolBirds contribute to seed dispersal through endozoochory, often creating spatially aggregated patterns of seed deposition around perching sites. While this process has been extensively studied in open habitats, the role of deadwood in structuring bird ...
