Data from: The hydrochorous dispersal of plant propagules in a giant river reservoir: implications for restoration of riparian vegetation

Effects of environmental variables

The effects of environmental variables on the downstream dispersal distance of propagule mimics. Abbreviations: D90 (the distances when 90% of retrieved propagule mimics were retained), WaterLevel (water level variation), Sinuosity (channel sinuosity), NetWind_Down (cumulative net wind speed towards downstream direction), Width (channel width), FlowVelocity (flow velocity).

Dispersal distance of propagule mimics

The dispersal distance of propagule mimics in three regulated tributaries. The positive and negative values in the column ‘Dispersal distance (km)’ indicate the downstream and upstream distance from the release points, respectively.

Water level variation

The water level variation of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) during the release period of propagule mimics. The positive and negative values in the column ‘Relative water level (m)’ indicate the water level of the TGR raised and declined, respectively.

Retrieved propagule mimics stranded on shorelines

The percentage of retrieved propagule mimics stranded on shorelines of three regulated rivers under raising and declining water levels.

Retained patterns of the retrieved propagule mimics

Percentage of the retrieved propagule mimics staying in the water and stranded on shorelines.

Propagule mimics stranded on different slope gradients

Percentage of propagule mimics stranded on riparian zones with different slope gradients. Seven instead of nine release events are shown because the other two release events had no propagule mimics stranding on shorelines.
