Abstract: 
A simple and easy to handle apparatus for measuring the fall velocity of anemochorous diaspores is described. Plumed and winged diaspores from two plant communities of different densities and stabilities were compared. Diaspores of species from an unstable pioneer community had a significantly better flight ability than diaspores from a denser and more stable community.
