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 ...
