Latitudinal diversity gradients of soil seed bank and aboveground vegetation in China
Plant DiversityThe latitudinal diversity gradient is one of the most general biogeographical patterns. However, current latitudinal diversity gradients have been mostly focused on aboveground vegetation, while such a pattern exists in soil seed bank, which is an ...

Lolium multiflorum seeds in the soil: I. Soil seed bank dynamics in a no til system [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Sementes, 2008 The objective of the study was to characterize annual ryegrass seed population dynamics, managed for natural re-sowing, in no til systems in rotation with soybean, in different chronosequences An area was cultivated for two years with soybean, left as fallow land for the next two years and then cultivated again with soybean for the next two years.

Soil seed bank dynamics in transferred topsoil: Evaluating restoration potentials [PDF]
, 2012 Global change, increasing human population growth and urbanisation represent increasing pressures on biodiversity and ecosystem function. It is now widely recognised that conservation of existing natural fragments will not be sufficient to maintain ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Assessment of seedling emergence method in soil seed bank in two states of washing and non-washing [PDF]
تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2016 This study aimed to evaluate the results of soil seed bank in Tarbiat Modares Lowland Experimental Forest by using the two methods of washing and non-washing. Therefore, four main plots (40×40 m2)with each of them comprising 4 sub quadrats of 400 m2 were

SiDT1 Defines Plant Architecture Reminiscent of Green Revolution in Foxtail Millet
Advanced Science, EarlyView.SiDT1 encodes a GA3‐oxidase that creates a semi‐dwarf, lodging‐resistant architecture reminiscent of the rice Green Revolution. The resulting ideotype performs well under dense planting and provides a valuable genetic resource for high‐yield, mechanized foxtail millet production. ABSTRACT Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) is a drought‐tolerant C4 cereal

Seed rain and soil seed banks limit native regeneration within urban forest restoration plantings in Hamilton City, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Restoration of native forest vegetation in urban environments may be limited due to isolation from native seed sources and to the prevalence of exotic plant species.
