Description
Plants have limited Mobility and consequently rely upon a Variety of Dispersal Vectors to Transport their Propagules, including both Abiotic and Biotic Vectors. Seeds can be Dispersed away from the parent plant individually or collectively, as well as dispersed in both space and time. The Patterns of Seed Dispersal are determined in large part by the dispersal mechanism and this has important implications for the demographic and Genetic Structure of Plant Populations, as well as Migration Patterns and Species Interactions. There are five main modes of seed dispersal: Gravity, Wind, Ballistic, Water and by Animal
