How do diaspore traits, wind speed and sand surface configuration interact to determine seed burial during wind dispersal?

摘要

Aims How landscape configuration, dispersal agents and diaspore features interact to determine the input of seeds into the soil, which is the first part of the formation of a soil seed bank, is a major challenge. This study explored the role of diaspore traits and sand surface configuration in determining the number of seeds that become buried during wind dispersal.
