Abstract: Tin-tagging method is one of the most powerful methods to track the seeds removed, cached and dispersed by seed-caching rodents, which can easily determine where each seed comes from and the fate of the seed, making the quantitative study of seed dispersal and its fate more effective and accurate. This paper briefly introduced its managing procedures, including material selection and preparation, field operation, and some notices during operation.
