A future higher risk of severe flooding of streams and rivers has been projected to change
riparian plant community composition and species richness, but the extent and direction of the …

Dispersal is essential for species to survive the threats of habitat destruction and climate
change. Combining descriptions of dispersal ability with those of landscape structure, the …

Frequency and duration of summer droughts are predicted to increase in the near future in
many parts of the world, with considerable anticipated effects on riparian plant community …

Long‐distance seed dispersal is an important topic in ecology, but notoriously difficult to
quantify. Previous modeling approaches have failed to simulate long‐distance dispersal, and it …

We introduce an analytical model, the Wald analytical long‐distance dispersal (WALD)
model, for estimating dispersal kernels of wind‐dispersed seeds and their escape probability …

The conversion of much of the earth’s land surface to agriculture or urban land has had major
effects on nutrient flows from the local to the global scales. Natural ecosystems generally …

Over the past century, various mechanistic models have been developed to estimate the
magnitude of seed dispersal by wind, and to elucidate the relative importance of physical and …

Human activities have fundamental impacts on the distribution of species through altered
land use, but also directly by dispersal of propagules. Rare long-distance dispersal events …

Although habitat loss and fragmentation are assumed to threaten the regional survival of
plant species, their effects on regional species dynamics via seed dispersal and colonization …

Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) is important in plants of dynamic and ephemeral habitats.
For plants of dynamic wetland habitats, waterfowl are generally considered to be important …
