　　Tradeoff is an important feature of life history of organisms.Plants often have two kinds of defensive traits against animal predation: physical and chemical defenses,but tradeoff between them is still heavily debated and its ecological consequences are rarely studied.In this study,we investigated the tradeoff of seed traits of 23 tree species and their impacts on seed fates under predation from 16 rodent species in four forest types in China.
