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 ...

Effects of 10-year management regimes on the soil seed bank in saline-alkaline grassland. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 BackgroundManagement regimes for vegetation restoration of degraded grasslands can significantly affect the process of ecological succession. However, few studies have focused on variation in the soil seed bank during vegetation restoration under ...

Can the soil seed bank of Rumex obtusifolius in productive grasslands be explained by management and soil properties? [PDF]
PLoS One, 2023 Rumex obtusifolius is a problematic weed in temperate grasslands worldwide as it decreases yield and nutritional value of forage. Because the species can recruit from the seed bank, we determined the effect of management and soil properties on the soil ...

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.

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.

“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 ...

Soil Seed Banks and Their Relation to Soil Properties in Hilly Landscapes
Plants, 2023 For the prevention of hilly soils from erosion, a smart selection of crop rotations is very important. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different agrophytocenoses on seed numbers in the soil runoff sediments and soil seed banks’ relations to soil properties in hilly landscapes. This study analyzes long-term monitoring data from
