Soil seed banks in tropical forest fragments with different disturbance histories in southeastern Brazil
(2007-11-01)
Soil seed banks are considered an important mechanism for natural regeneration in tropical forest ecosystems. This paper investigated the soil seed bank in two semideciduous seasonal tropical forest fragments with different ...
Soil seed banks in tropical forest fragments with different disturbance histories in southeastern Brazil

Soil seed banks are considered an important mechanism for natural regeneration in tropical forest ecosystems. This paper investigated the soil seed bank in two semideciduous seasonal tropical forest fragments with different ...
Seed bank dynamics in tall-tussock grasslands along an altitudinal gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2003-02)
We studied the germinable soil seed bank of tall-tussock grasslands along an altitudinal gradient in the mountains of central Argentina. We selected 10 sampling plots at three altitudinal levels (1200 m, 1600 m and 2200 ...
Germination and soil seed bank traits of Podocarpus angustifolius (Podocarpaceae): an endemic tree species from Cuban rain forests
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2011)
Impact of Ligustrum lucidum on the soil seed bank in invaded subtropical seasonally dry woodlands (Córdoba, Argentina)
(Springer, 2015-10)
The impact of invasive species on below ground flora may differ from that on the above ground vegetation. Recent reviews of invaded and native communities emphasize the need for more comprehensive information on the impacts ...
Seed predation in a Mediterranean pasture: can ants modify the floristic composition of soil seed banks?
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2005)
The dynamics of three shrub species in a fire-prone temperate savanna: the interplay between the seed bank, seed rain and fire regime.
(Springer, 2013-01)
A model was developed to assess how the seed rain and fire regime affect seed bank dynamics and seedling establishment of three native shrub species (Acanthostyles buniifolius, Baccharis pingraea and Baccharis dracunculifolia) ...
Continuous grazing disrupts desert grass-soil seed bank composition under variable rainfall
(Springer, 2021-02)
Long-term field studies help unveil mechanisms of grass soil seed bank (SSB) persistence and resilience. We wonder whether grazing is a disruptive force that changes grass SSB composition and size, while heavy rainfall is ...
Seed rain and soil seed bank compensatory roles on Nassella tenuis (Phil.) Barkworth seedling recruitment in ungrazed and grazed sites
(Science Press, 2022-05)
In semi-arid lands, vegetation is distributed in shrub patches immersed in a less vegetated interpatch matrix. Grazing affects perennial grass seed bank through a decrease in seed rain and an increase in seed predation and ...
