Seed dispersal in Cistus
In this fire-following genus, stand recruitment after disturbance is fully dependent upon the soil seed bank. This, in turn, is directly influenced by the seed crop and its dispersal features. Bastida and Talavera (pp. 427-434) examine this in two species, and show that barochorous seed dispersal occurs in addition to a much extended seed release period.
