The 17 pages that link to Wind dispersal, each with the reason it gives.

• Seed dispersalBroader topic: Wind carries seeds whose structures slow their fall or let them glide.

• Wind pollinationCompared with: Both processes use air transport, but wind pollination moves pollen between flowers.

• AsteraceaeRelated: Pappus-bearing cypselae, such as dandelion fruits, travel on the wind.

• AcheneRelated: Some achenes use hairs or wings to travel on the wind.

• StrobilusRelated: Spores released from many strobili are carried away by wind.

• Spore dispersalRelated: Air currents transport many spores over distances that passive settling would not reach.

• HydrochoryCompared with: Wind transports propagules through air, unlike hydrochory through water.

• PappusRelated: Pappus hairs and bristles increase drag, helping wind carry fruits.

• SalicaceaeRelated: Cottony hairs help seeds of many poplars and willows travel on air currents.

• Biological dispersalBroader topic: Wind carries lightweight seeds, spores, and planktonic organisms beyond their source.

• Salix albaRelated: Fine hairs help carry white willow seeds away from the parent tree.

• PuffballRelated: Air currents carry puffball spores away after their release.

• PlatanusRelated: Fine hairs on plane-tree achenes help carry them away from the parent tree.

• TaraxacumRelated: Air currents lift the pappus-bearing fruits away from parent plants.

• TumbleweedNarrower topic: Tumbleweeds carry seeds away from parent plants through wind-driven movement.

• Pinus lambertianaRelated: Wings help sugar pine seeds travel away from the parent tree.

• TiliaRelated: Tilia’s bracts help its fruits travel through the air as they fall.
