Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the terminal velocity (Vt) of fern spores to understand how their characteristics affect dispersal through the air, using advanced video imaging techniques.
- - Researchers measured Vt for 1234 spores across 18 fern species and found it ranged from 4.7 cm/s to 18.85 cm/s, confirming that spore mass strongly influences Vt more than size does.
- - The findings revealed that spore ornamentation impacts Vt by increasing or decreasing air resistance, suggesting that future research on airborne biological particles could benefit from this method and its insights.
