摘要: Abstract Juncus effusus seed fall during one growing season was determined by use of traps in a freshwater emergent wetland. These observations provided situ estimates ∼4.0 million seeds per square m within the season, only 5% which germinated 3-month field study, presumably because unfavorable environmental conditions. Estimated biomass collected this study (29 g ash-free dry mass/m2) represents 0.27% J. annual net production, despite large numbers produced.
