%X <p>The objectives of this study were to elucidate how
changes in seed morphological characteristics during germination affect the
potential of secondary hydrophily transport and the successful establishment of
saltmarsh species. We conducted two rounds of flume experiments with different
scenarios and a series of field investigations, focus on two pioneer saltmarsh
species: <i>Scripus mariqueter</i> and <i>Spartina alterniflora</i>. These
files include the data used to create each figure in the manuscript, organized
