Abstract
The predominant life-forms in a deciduous forest of northern Venezuela are phanerophytes, lianas and chamaephytes. The dispersal mechanisms in this forest are anemochory (42%), zoochory (30%), barochory (19%) and autochory (9%). The distribution of dispersal mechanisms is a function of topography and the stratification of vegetation; anemochory dominates at higher elevations and in the upper strata of vegetation, whereas zoochory is most common at lower elevations and in lower levels of the forest.
