Seed dispersal

different methods of seed dispersal

1. Dandelion Each seed has a parachute of fine hairs attached which will help seeds to fly in dry air when air becomes moist the hair clumps together and the seed sinks to the ground

2. Cleaver The sticky seeds attach to animals and travels to new areas

3. Poppy head The heads dry out as seeds mature and seeds are scattered through small openings when wind shakes the stalk

4. Lupins They have pods that split open as they dry out,this catapults the seed far from the parent.

5. Coconut The outer husk allows it to float in sea currents to new areas.

6. Nuts Squirrels distribute nuts by collecting and burying them.

7. Hawthorn berries Birds eat these berries and then pass the hard seed out in their faeces elsewhere,the seeds have their own dose of fertiliser

8. Sycamore They have wings which make them spin and keeps them in the air longer and spread further away form parent
