Anemohydrochorous
Definition
Pertaining to plants, vegetable species, seeds, or diaspores whose dispersal and dissemination in space is structurally achieved through the combined action of wind (air currents) and water (aquatic currents). This hybrid ecological mechanism is typical of wetland, floodplain, or delta flora.
