In seed: Dispersal by wind
…the Alps is 60 percent anemochorous; that of the Mediterranean garrigue (a scrubland region) is 50 percent. By making certain assumptions (e.g., for average wind velocity and turbulence), the “average limits of dispersal”—that is, the distance that 1 percent of the seeds or diaspores can reach—can be calculated for dispersal…
