The following figure is a model of seedling establishment as a function of distance from a parent tree. Initial seed density measures the number of seeds falling to the ground. Seed survivorship measures the proportion of seeds that survive to the adult stage at each distance


Which of the following factors is most likely to generate the seed density curve shown? 

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles

  2. Most seeds fall directly under the parent tree, but some are dispersed away from it. 
  3. The seeds are randomly dispersed by wind.
