Ultraweak Photon Emission from the Seed Coat in Response to Temperature and Humidity-A Potential Mechanism for Environmental Signal Transduction in the Soil Seed Bank. [PDF]
Photochem Photobiol, 2016 Seeds beneath the soil sense the changing environment to time germination and seedling emergence with the optimum time of year for survival. Environmental signals first impact with the seed at the seed coat.

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

Scientia Agricola, 1998 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.

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 ...

“Active” Weed Seed Bank: Soil Texture and Seed Weight as Key Factors of Burial-Depth Inhibition
Agronomy, 2021 The ability of weeds to survive over time is highly dependent on an ecological strategy that ensures a high level of viable seed remains in the soil. Seed bank persistence occurs because of the specific characteristics of seed dormancy and longevity and ...

Study the species richness and similarity of plant cover and soil seed bank in arid areas of Atriplex plantation (Case Study: Shahriar) [PDF]
پژوهشهای آبخیزداری, 2017 Plant cover may be the most important factor in conserving the soil from water and wind erosion. Wise management of plant cover needs accurate and sufficient information from vegetation and soil seed bank capacity. Evaluation of changes in vegetation and

Herbivory and nutrients shape grassland soil seed banks
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractAnthropogenic nutrient enrichment and shifts in herbivory can lead to dramatic changes in the composition and diversity of aboveground plant communities. In turn, this can alter seed banks in the soil, which are cryptic reservoirs of plant diversity.

Look before planting: using smokewater as an inventory tool to predict the soil seed bank and inform ecological management and restoration [PDF]
, 2011 This study tested the efficacy of smokewater to determine the potential germination from soil seed bank in three management sites of the same National Park: a forest site prior to restoration, an ex-pine plantation site and an ex-mine site.
