Ombrohydrochory: Rain-operated seed dispersal in plants - With special regard to jet-action dispersal in Aizoaceae

2006-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The present review describes the ombrohydrochoric dispersal syndrome in plants, i.e. seed expulsion by raindrops. There are two different ombrohydrochoric dispersal modes - dispersal by rain wash and by ballistic forces. Both have been reported from the understory of tropical and temperate forests, from wetlands and from deserts, and from numerous families and genera. A special form of ombrohydrochoric dispersal i...
