Anemochoria

Anemochoria may be important among seed plants for the distance reached by the diaspores.

Downstream transportation[…]is common to all aquatic animals which cannot maintain their position by swimming alone. The solution to this problem in freshwater is to produce a drought resistant life-stage adapted to passive (upstream) dispersal by anemochoria or zoochoria.

The presence of anemochoria can be considered as an indication of environmental disturbance in already established forest formations, since wind dispersion benefits these conditions.
