Table 3 Seed size and shape in correlation with seed loss rate

From: Seed morphology characteristics in relation to seed loss by water erosion in the Loess Plateau

Rainfall	Weight	Length	Width	Height	Surface	Volume	Density	Specific surface	FI
	(mg)	(mm)	(mm)	(mm)	(mm ² )	(mm ³ )	(mg/mm ³ )	(mm ² /mg)
100 mm/h	-0.341	-0.431	-0.502*	-0.493	-0.389	-0.356	-0.184	0.428	0.105
150 mm/h	-0.584*	-0.544*	-0.644**	-0.667**	-0.616*	-0.607*	-0.184	0.365	0.132

Seed loss rate is an average of the four slopes under the same rainfall intensity. *a = 0.05; **a = 0.01; n = 16
