Questions: Could the seed bank increase biodiversity during restoration of abandoned, species-poor, formerly cultivated vegetation? Is it possible to identify how climate, soil and former and present ...
Big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata) is a key foundational species in an ecosystem that is threatened by invasion of cheatgrass and the subsequent increase in fire frequency. Critical to the ...
Humans are not the only creatures who know how to invest. Plant communities have a secret “trust fund” buried underground: the soil seed bank. The soil seed bank is a natural reserve of seeds in the ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Cover crops have been promoted for their abilities to reduce erosion and retain or enhance soil nutrients. Now there is evidence that they can significantly reduce weed seeds ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We investigated vegetation-seed bank relationships at three fynbos sites on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, and the impacts to these sites ...
Researchers found that planted forests consistently harbor denser seed banks than natural forests, offering crucial regeneration potential. By examining over 900 forest sites, the study revealed how ...
Seeds offer a level of resilience to the harmful effects of climate change in ecosystems across the globe. When seeds are dropped into the soil, often becoming dormant for many years until they are ...
A new study examines how warming and increased precipitation (rain and snow) harms the seeds in the ground of the Tibetan Plateau and elsewhere. Seeds offer a level of resilience to the harmful ...
