Perennial grass seed bank in litter patches. Co-occurrence with forb and annual grass seed banks constraints the reestablishment in disturbed Patagonian Monte rangelands
We assessed the effect of grazing and plant patchiness on the perennial grass seed bank in litter patches in relation to co-occurring shrub, annual...

Soil seed bank can complement restoration efforts in a coastal freshwater creek
Riparian vegetation is a keystone ecosystem element heavily impacted by livestock grazing. Historically, regeneration approaches of the riparian...

Effects of Crop Management Systems On Weed Abundance and Soil Seed Bank
Given the importance of different weed management systems (MS) for weed communities and soil seed bank, our aim was to study the impacts of organic...

Soil seed bank characteristics at different developmental stages in pine and oak forests and its potential in vegetation restoration
Background and aimsSoil seed bank plays a significant role in the natural recovery and the succession of forest. A large number of natural secondary...

Effect of fallow period on soil seed bank runoff and regeneration of successional forests
In humid subtropical forests, the age of shifting cultivation fallow dramatically influences seed runoff patterns, which in turn plays a crucial role...

Species Composition of the Seed Bank in the Estuarine Part of the Il’d’ River and Neighboring Areas
AbstractThe plant communities of riparian area, or cyclically flooding zone of the water reservoir depend on the diaspores accumulated in the ground...

Long-term active restoration of degraded grasslands enhances vegetation resilience by altering the soil seed bank
Long-term active restoration is often employed to restore degraded grasslands. The establishment of a viable soil seed bank is the key to successful...

Similarity between soil seed bank and standing vegetation and their relationship with soil and topographical characteristics in a riparian zone
Our objectives were to examine the species composition and diversity of soil seed bank (SSB) and standing vegetation (SV), explore association...

Soil moisture level and substrate type determine long-term seed lifespan in a soil seed bank
AimsSeeds are usually classified as short- or long-term persistent. It is still hardly understood how environmental conditions influence seed...

Distinctive seed dispersal and seed bank patterns of invasive African grasses favour their invasion in a neotropical savanna
High propagule availability compared to native species is often critical to invasion success, but it is unclear if this has contributed to invasions...
