     research on moose-mediated seed dispersal is limited. however, its potential role in transferring seeds in patchy landscapes may be of great importance. in this work we examined how seasons and vegetation diversity influence the species richness and abundance of seeds dispersed endozoochorically by moose. samples of moose faeces were collected year-round, fortnightly, from contrasting vegetation types, dominated by diverse, species-rich wetland or poor, dry pine forest. the viable seed content of dung was studied by the seedling emergence method. the mean number of emerged seedlings per 0.8 l sample and the mean number of plant species per 0.8 l sample were several times higher in the diverse wetland vegetation than in the poor pine forest vegetation. maximum species richness and seed abundance was observed during the fructification period, and the minimum during spring. the species richness of samples did not differ between winter and the growing season, although the composition of plant species was different. the results of this study suggest that moose are efficient seed vectors, especially of grasses typical for grasslands and wetlands. the species richness and abundance of dispersed seeds coincides with the diversity of the vegetation of the animal’s habitat.
