Mechanical dispersal of seeds typically occurs through mechanisms like explosive seed pods, wind dispersal, or animal dispersal. Characteristics that aid in mechanical dispersal include lightweight seeds, winged structures for wind dispersal, or structures that allow for explosive release of seeds.
explosive mechanism
Explosive or splitting action
The process where a ripe fruit bursts open to release its seeds is called explosive dehiscence. This mechanism enables the seeds to be forcefully ejected from the fruit to disperse and germinate in new locations. It is a common method of seed dispersal in plants like peas and touch-me-nots.
By splitting/explosive method.
laburums are aswell. arn't they?And even peas
impatiens or balsam
Wind Water Animals Insects Explosive dispersal
The four main dispersal methods are wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal. Wind dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by the wind, water dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by water currents, animal dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by animals, and self-dispersal involves seeds or spores being dispersed by the plant itself.
Seed dispersal is the way seeds are spread from one place to another. This helps plants grow in new locations and not compete for resources in their parent plant's area. Methods of seed dispersal include wind, animals, water, and explosive mechanisms.
The process is called seed dispersal. It helps plants colonize new areas, reduce competition for resources, and increase genetic diversity. This can be achieved through various means such as wind, water, animals, or explosive mechanisms.
