Not gone with the wind: Vegetation complexity increases seed retention during windy periods in the Argentine Semiarid Chaco

Questions We experimentally studied whether different degrees of vegetation structural complexity, developed under different land‐use regimes, affected the retention of seeds in situ in the semiarid Chaco forest. We sought to answer the following questions: (a) Does vegetation complexity in interaction with climatic conditions affect seed retention on the soil surface? (b) Do seeds with contrasting traits show the same retention pattern?...
