This paper examines four key mechanisms of the seed size/number trade-off (SSNT) models to assess their relevance to a general understanding of plant community structure. Mechanism 1 is that large ...

We examined the spatial structure (distribution, density) and function (viability) of the seagrass sediment seed bank, the storage of viable propagules (e.g. seeds, tubers, diaspores) in the sediment ...

To pinpoint the best structure, they developed and used full-scale computational models of how the air flows around their devices to mimic the tristellateia seed’s slow, controlled rotation.
