Diaspore dispersal is crucial in shaping plant population dynamics, biodiversity, and
ecosystem functions. The effect of the vegetation structure on the secondary wind dispersal …

Lift-off velocity, the wind speed at which a diaspore starts moving during secondary wind
dispersal, representing diaspore mobile capacity, may greatly depend on vegetation where …

Lift-off velocity may be the most useful surrogate to measure the secondary dispersal
capacity of diaspores. However, the most important diaspore attribute determining diaspore …

Interception by plant canopies during wind dispersal can affect the final destination of
diaspores. However, how the interaction of wind speed, canopy type and diaspore attributes …

Key message Wing loading, diaspore type (round-winged vs. single-winged), and
aerodynamic motion (autogyro vs. floater) influence the terminal velocity of wind-dispersed …

Secondary diaspore dispersal by wind, that is, wind‐driven movement along the ground
surface (GS), is important for the structure and dynamics of plant populations and …

Purpose All secondary dispersal by wind, important for predicting, modeling and regulating
diaspore dispersal processes, and for biodiversity conservation and vegetation restoration …

We developed PAPPUS, a trajectory model for wind dispersal of plant diaspores under field
conditions. The model considers the effects of topography, turbulence (including thermal …

Seed dispersal has received much research attention. The plant canopy can intercept
diaspores, but the effect of the plant canopy (the aboveground portion of a plant consisting of …

Aims How seed dispersal distance is related to various factors is a major challenge for seed
ecologists. However, there are different answers as to which factor is most important in …
