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.
