Description

Field experiment comparing seed retention rates between vegetated and nonvegetated sites over multiple time intervals. Seeds manually placed on plants and monitored for dispersal vs. retention over 11 days.

Typical Equipment

  • forceps
  • UV reactive powder
  • Davis Cup Anemometer
  • orange nails

Output Measurements

  • seed retention probability
  • dispersal rates
  • site type effects
