DOI: 10.3390/plants14030446
Abstract: This study explores primary dispersal, which involves diaspores’ detachment directly from mature plants, and secondary dispersal, which encompasses any further dispersal occurring after the primary dispersal. A comparison of the primary dispersal vectors of the… read more here.
