Seed dispersal phenology and dispersal syndromes in a subtropical broad-leaved forest of China

Abstract excerpt

This study describes the dispersal phenology and syndromes in Gutianshan 24ha plot in a subtropical broad-leaved forest of China. The 130 0.5m² seed traps collected 69,115 mature seeds, representing 27 species (belonging to 24 genera, and 15 families) in 12 months.
