Mechanical seed dispersal occurs when fruits or seed pods burst open, ejecting seeds away from the parent plant. This can happen through various mechanisms, such as changes in moisture or temperature that cause the fruit to split. Some plants have specialized structures that can launch seeds into the air or propel them over distances. This method increases the likelihood of germination in a suitable environment, reducing competition with the parent plant.
