Seed morphology characteristics in relation to seed loss by water erosion in the Loess Plateau
The role of water erosion on seed loss and on plant establishment and distribution is unknown on the Chinese Loess Plateau, which suffers serious soil erosion. The seed susceptibility of 16 local species to removal by water erosion from loess slopes was determined by rainfall simulation experiments. The experiments were performed on slopes with gradients of 10°, 15°, 20° and 25° for a 60-min du...
متن کاملSubstrate type affects caching and pilferage of pine seeds by chipmunks
The abiotic environment often influences the ways in which animals interact. By affecting the cues associated with buried seeds, the type of substrate used by seed-caching rodents may alter the relative probabilities of cache pilferage and cache retrieval. We predicted that, after a wildfire, the presence of ash would impair rodents’ ability to smell pine seeds on the forest floor. In a laborat...
متن کاملSeed rain, soil seed bank, seed loss and regeneration of Castanopsis fargesii (Fagaceae) in a subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest
Understanding the seed rain and seed loss dynamics in the natural condition has important significance for revealing the natural regeneration mechanisms. We conducted a 3-year field observation on seed rain, seed loss and natural regeneration of Castanopsis fargesii Franch., a dominant tree species in evergreen broad-leaved forests in Dujiangyan, southwestern China. The results showed that: (1)...

than those for 100 % curves. Since there exists no non-decreasing functional relationship between germination percentage and energy loss in this region, ionizations in the fruit coat cannot be responsible for the induced germination. Likewise, in the region of the embryo there is a 69 % germination curve which lies above a 100 % curve. (In both of these cases visible embryo damage could be seen...
متن کاملReduction in Cache Memory Power Consumption based on Replacement Quantity
Today power consumption is considered to be one of the important issues. Therefore, its reduction plays a considerable role in developing systems. Previous studies have shown that approximately 50% of total power consumption is used in cache memories. There is a direct relationship between power consumption and replacement quantity made in cache. The less the number of replacements is, the less...
