Journal of Applied Probability, 2022 AbstractWe derive the asymptotic behavior of the total, active, and inactive branch lengths of the seed bank coalescent when the initial sample size grows to infinity. These random variables have important applications for populations evolving under some seed bank effects, such as plants and bacteria, and for some cases of structured populations like ...

Seed bank persistence of artificial vegetation under stochastic shock in desert regions
Ecological Indicators, 2021 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
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 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

New records of alien Euphorbia hypericifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae) from the United Arab Emirates [PDF]
Check ListEuphorbia hypericifolia L. (Euphorbiaceae) is reported here as a new record for the vascular flora of the United Arab Emirates. This species is native to the tropics and subtropics of the New World and was recorded from a mountain wadi bank (gravel or ...

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]
پژوهشهای آبخیزداری, 2021 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.

New Phytologist, 1987 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 ...

Simulated Photovoltaic Solar Panels Alter the Seed Bank Survival of Two Desert Annual Plant Species
Plants, 2020 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.

Microscale Insight into Microbial Seed Banks [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 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.

Plant Diversity, 2019 Ex situ conservation in seed banks is a potential complementary conservation strategy for native plant species. It is well established that ex situ seed banking of native wild plants prolongs seed viability and thereby preserves genetic and species ...
