SummaryThe involvement of four factors (life history, predation, possession of a persistent seed bank and seedling establishment) in the evolution of seed size in flowering plants is discussed. Among herbacaeous plants, biennials seem to have larger seeds than annuals and perennials, a difference which may explain the capacity of some biennials to ...

Seed bank persistence of artificial vegetation under stochastic shock in desert regions
Seed bank persistence plays a significant role in maintaining the sustainability of artificial vegetation in desert regions. However, the periods of droughts after each rainfall event form a series of stochastic shocks and result in depletion of the seed

A global synthesis of fire effects on soil seed banks
Fire is a major disturbance affecting plant communities in terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding fire effects on soil seed banks is critical in the context of altered global fire regimes. Through a systematic and quantitative review of the literature, we

Microscale Insight into Microbial Seed Banks [PDF]
Dormancy is a general microbial life-history trait that leads to the emergence of seed banks across diverse ecosystems. While the primary forces driving seed banks include macroscale factors like resource supply, the importance of microscale factors such as individual encounters with resource molecules are often overlooked.

Response of Composition, Diversity and Functional Groups of Soil Seed Bank under Corrective Practices of Floodwater Spreading in the Kowsar Aquifer Management Station, The Province of Fars [PDF]
Floodwater spreading plays an important role in restoring and enhancing the vegetative cover, improving soil fertility, groundwater recharge and desertification control. These have been achieved in some of the arid and semi-arid regions of Iran.

Simulated Photovoltaic Solar Panels Alter the Seed Bank Survival of Two Desert Annual Plant Species
Seed bank survival underpins plant population persistence but studies on seed bank trait-environment interactions are few. Changes in environmental conditions relevant to seed banks occur in desert ecosystems owing to solar energy development.

The goal of this literature review is to discuss some of the major aspects of the soil seed bank, from its characteristics down to methodological aspects of its determination. Soil seed bank is the reservoir of viable seeds or of vegetative propagules that are present in the soil and that are able to recompose a natural vegetation.
