Connecting regional-scale tree distribution models with seed dispersal kernels
作者：
Highlights：
• A model describing spatial variability in vertebrate seed dispersal is presented.
• Homogenization connects small scale variability with large scale processes.
• Closed form solutions are derived in 2-D for two limits of seed handling behavior.
• Habitat utilization gaps may accelerate seed dispersal on landscape scales.
• The homogenized model was applied to piñon-pine in the southwestern US.
