Effects of dandelion reproduction

Abstract

This paper mainly explored the seed propagation efficiency of dandelions in different environments and the impact of dandelions on specific environments as a species that easily spreads seeds. It also calculated the seed wind propagation distance as a solution.

We incorporated global climate model factors into the first model to explain the factors influencing dandelion dispersal and the ideal range for dandelion seed dispersal in subtropical and temperate environments. Secondly, we used factor analysis to explore whether dandelion is an invasive plant. Expert scoring was used to evaluate whether a species is an invasive plant. In addition, we included two common invasive plants, alfalfa, and American sedge, in the same model and measured them with the same confidence level to conclude. As a result of the above studies, we found that dandelion spreads differently in tropical, subtropical, and temperate zones and is not a serious invasive species. Finally, based on the above conclusions, a suggestion for reasonable cultivation of dandelion was proposed.
