Table 2 Average seed crop per year (mean ± SE) or after correcting it for the actual cover (assuming 100% cover for each species [100% Co]) or density (Per Indiv.) of each species based on data from Table 1. Similar results but expressed as biomass of the seed crop, after multiplying seed crop by seed biomass. Seed biomass data were provided by Dr. D. Chamorro

From: Temporal and spatial patterns of seed dispersal of four shrubs in a Cistus-Erica shrubland from central Spain
