Fig. 1 Schematic illustration of the seed dispersal experiment.
Fig. 2 Seed removal rates for Quercus wutaishanica after release at different slope positions. The data were represented as mean ± standard error (SE).
Fig. 3 Seed fates of Quercus wutaishanica after primary dispersal by rodents. The data were represented as mean ± standard error (SE). IIS: Intact in situ; EIS: eaten in situ; EAR: eaten after removal; IAR: intact but not buried after removal to another location; SH: scatter hoarded after removal; M: missing; Primary dispersal: the initial movement of seeds from the seed station.
Fig. 4 Seed dispersal distances of Quercus wutaishanica after primary dispersal from the seed stations in the three slope positions. Note: The data were represented as mean ± standard error (SE). The number above the boxplot represents the p-value.
