Seed Dispersal

  • Specimen: Western salsify
  • Location: I found it in my front yard but I took the picture on the table that is on my porch.
  • Relates to term: The plant has loose seeds with things that catch the wind as it blows, scattering the seeds.
  • Definition: Seed Dispersal:  is the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants have limited mobility and consequently rely upon a variety of dispersal vectors to transport their propagules, including both abiotic and biotic vectors.
