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

Seeds of change: characterizing the soil seed bank of a migrating salt marsh. [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2020 AbstractBackground and AimsThe capacity for dispersal to promote or hinder species’ responses to global change remains a major question in ecology. One ecosystem experiencing rapid change is the tidal marsh, which is migrating inland in response to accelerated sea level rise.

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

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
