Seed dispersal is likely to have several benefits for different plant species. First, seed survival is often higher away from the parent plant. This higher survival may result from the actions of density-dependent seed and seedling predators and pathogens, which often target the high concentrations of seeds beneath adults.[2] Competition with adult plants may also be lower when seeds are transported away from their parent.
