Organic Cropping Systems do not Increase Weed Seed Numbers but do Increase Weed Diversity [PDF]
, 2020 The influence of different cropping systems on the soil weed seed bank after the first crop rotation within a five-field crop rotation (barley undersown with red clover, red clover, winter wheat, pea, potato) in three organic (Org) and in two ...

Invasive Australian Acacia seed banks: Size and relationship with stem diameter in the presence of gall-forming biological control agents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Australian Acacia are invasive in many parts of the world. Despite significant mechanical and biological efforts to control their invasion and spread, soil-stored seed banks prevent their effective and sustained removal.

The feasibility of using soil seed bank for natural regeneration of degraded sandy grasslands
International Soil and Water Conservation Research, 2022 Desertification in degraded grasslands is manifested through the development of bare sandy patches, which eventually lead to habitat fragmentation. The ability of these bare sandy patches to regenerate naturally through in-situ soil seed banks is not ...

In Site Soil Seed-Banks: Size, Composition and Persistence across Tropical Successional Stages
Plants, 2023 I investigated the size, composition and persistence of the seed-bank in primary forests, secondary forests and old-fields in southern Mexico. I also assessed the contribution of the seed-bank to regeneration relative to other propagule sources.

A new coalescent for seed-bank models
, 2016 We identify a new natural coalescent structure, which we call the seed-bank coalescent, that describes the gene genealogy of populations under the influence of a strong seed-bank effect, where "dormant forms" of individuals (such as seeds or spores) may ...

HS-SPME-GC-MS Volatile Profile of “Aglio Rosso di Sulmona” (Sulmona Red Garlic) Floral Scape
ChemosensorsGarlic (Allium Sativum L.) is a source of organosulphur compounds with well-known sensorial and biological activity. Organosulphur precursors of garlic aroma are also detected in the plant leaves, but limited literature on this subject is available. This

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.

Fisher-Wright model with deterministic seed bank and selection
, 2016 Seed banks are a common characteristics to many plant species, which allow storage of genetic diversity in the soil as dormant seeds for various periods of time.

The Role of Host Demographic Storage in the Ecological Dynamics of Heritable Symbionts [PDF]
, 2016 Heritable symbioses are widespread and ecologically important. Many host organisms have complex life cycles that include diverse opportunities for symbionts to affect their host and be lost during development. Yet, existing theory takes a simplified view

Spatial and temporal dynamics of two cacti seed banks in a xerophytic shrubland in Mexico City
Botanical Sciences, 2021 Background: Soil and aerial seed banks directly affect recruitment in plant populations. Soil banks result as the balance between seed inputs and outputs. Seed bank dynamics vary by species and environmental conditions.
