Seed bank attributes were not affected by goats, including proportion of viable seeds (25.85 卤 41.3 in exclosure plots vs 31.45 卤 42.49 in free-access plots) and diversity. However, seedling survival one year after transplantation was higher for the plant species in the exclosure plots (68.4...
Understanding the size and longevity of the soil seed bank can assist in understanding the management requirements for these species, such as on-going control requirements. This study assessed the seed longevity of mission and gamba grasses, and the seed bank in sites densely invaded by either ...

The similarity of the contents of the seed bank and the composition of the above-ground vegetation was also examined. Soil samples were collected from quadrats 0–10, 20–30 and 50–60 m from the edge at each site, then spread on germination trays in a glasshouse and germinated seedlings ...
forestsThe control of exotic and invasive species in areas undergoing recovery is a challenge for ecological restoration and this problem may be even greater in urbanized areas.This study evaluated the seed bank and seed rain of a 5-year-old riparian forest located at the metropolitan region of ...
Soil seed bank are important component of ecosystems. It is viable seeds on soil surface or buried in the soil. Now-a- days soil seed bank of invasive plants has become important at various ecological aspects in terms of belowground diversity, standing vegetation dynamics and its importance at ...

This study evaluated combinations of nutrient-depleting (carbon addition) and seed bank-depleting approaches for controlling exotic annuals, and compared the seed ...
