- Title
Size matters for violent discharge height and settling speed of Sphagnum spores: important attributes for dispersal potential.
- Authors
Sundberg, Sebastian
- Abstract
Initial release height and settling speed of diaspores are biologically controlled components which are key to modelling wind dispersal. Most Sphagnum (peat moss) species have explosive spore liberation. In this study, how capsule and spore sizes affect the height to which spores are propelled were measured, and how spore size and spore number of discharged particles relate to settling speed in the aspherical Sphagnum spores.
