Seed dispersal and predation (RA)
Seed dispersal and predation fulfill an important role in the process of natural regeneration and maintenance of vegetable populations. The theory is that the recruitment of plants and seeds near adult trees is limited by herbivore predators. In this workshop we will count seeds and sapling in expanding concentric circles centered around an adult mother tree. We will prove with this simple experiment how predators concentrate their activities in zones with high density of seeds and how those seeds that are dispersed further from the mother tree have greater survival possibilities.
