Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) Seed Shadow along a Fenceline
The American Midland Naturalist
(1985)
Abstract
The shape of a red cedar seed shadow was determined by counting the number of bird-deposited seeds along a 290-m-long fenceline, situated in an open pasture in SW Virginia. The seed shadow described a negative exponential relationship of density with increasing distance from the fruit source located along the border of the pasture. This seed shadow was similar in shape to seed shadows determined by various other means for endozoochorously generated seed shadows reported in the literature.
