Human-Mediated Dispersal of Seeds by the Airflow of Vehicles
Figure 5
Influence of the starting section on parallel and lateral movement of seeds by a passing car.
Dispersal patterns of Ailanthus altissima seeds after one vehicle pass for seeds initially placed in the verge (left panel), the left side (second panel from left) the driving lane (centre panel), the right side (second panel from right) and the opposite lane (right panel). Probabilities of reaching the different sections of the study road are indicated by different grey shading. Probabilities are averaged over 50 replicates.
