the restoration of European plant communities including forest, marsh, grassland and …

Plant dispersal syndromes are allocated based on diaspore morphology and used to predict
the dominant mechanisms of dispersal. Many authors assume that only angiosperms with …

Plant communities are often dispersal‐limited and zoochory can be an efficient mechanism
