Seed rain and soil seed banks limit native regeneration within urban forest restoration plantings in Hamilton City, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

The effect of recent fire history on the abundance and viability of large seeds in the soil of sclerophyll forest in Tasmania, Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
There are few data on the effects of recent fire history on the composition of soil seed banks in sclerophyll forest communities. We predicted that the abundance and viability of soil-stored seeds would vary with fire history.

Efficiency of Methodologies Used in the Evaluation of the Weed Seed Bank under Mediterranean Conditions

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
The objective of this study was to compare the efficiency of two methodologies, seed germination (SG) and seed physical extraction SPE), to assess the weed community from two locations with different soil and climatic conditions: M, with dry and low soil

Weed Seed Bank Dynamics: Weed Seed Bank Modulation Through Tillage and Weed Management [PDF]

open access: yesPlanta Daninha, 2018
: A field trial was conducted with the aim of assessing weed seed bank status of soil under maize cultivation. It was worked out by sampling from soil corer at different depths ranging from 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20 and 20-25 cm.

Effects of Long-Term Trampling on the Above-Ground Forest Vegetation and Soil Seed Bank at the Base of Limestone Cliffs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Exposed limestone cliffs in central Europe harbor a highly divers flora with many rare and endangered species. During the past few decades, there has been increasing recreational use of these cliffs, which has caused local environmental disturbances ...

Edaphic and seasonal heterogeneity of seed banks in agricultural fields of a tropical dry forest region in southern Mexico

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2012
The slash-and-burn agriculture practiced across tropical dry regions results in the elimination of native vegetation. Upon field abandonment, the seed bank becomes a potentially important mechanism of natural regeneration at early successional stages ...

Factors involved in recruitment process of an endemic gypsophyte species in Spain: Teucrium libanitis

open access: yesRevista Cubana de Ciencias Forestales, 2013
Gypsum soils in arid and semi-arid environments impose an important restriction of vascular plants. Factors controlling the recruitment of gypsophytes species are not completely understood. Recruitment is the combined result of processes involved in soil

Soil management systems and their effect on the weed seed bank [PDF]

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018
: The objective of this work was to evaluate the density and composition of the soil weed seed bank when bean, corn, and soybean are cultivated in the no-tillage system (NTS) in rotation with winter cover crop species and in the conventional tillage ...
