Wing loading, not terminal velocity, is the best parameter to predict capacity of diaspores for secondary wind dispersal

Wing loading is the best proxy for estimating the capacity of diaspores for secondary wind dispersal, which allows us to predict diaspore dispersal behaviors using readily available diaspore functional attributes.
