Résumé

Seed predation is an important factor affecting the recruitment of plants. Several hypotheses have been suggested as to how and if does seed density affect seed predation. This study, using the placing of experimental seed plots, with and without vertebrate and and invertebrate predators, in and around an Aleppo pine stand, at different tree densities, analyses the relation between predation rates and distance from plants.
