Introduction The dynamic changes of seed input and output which determines soil seed bank size and species composition, may determine the template provided for vegetation restoration.
Introduction Soil seed bank has a high spatiotemporal variability, as the result of interactions between seed dispersal process, habitat condition, and seed traits (Howe et al 1982).
Introduction In habitats where disturbance is frequent and severe, seed bank is important for revegetation.The active sand dune system is a dynamic habitat where wind action and sand movement are prev
Introduction Seed persistence in the soil is a phenomenon that has been recognised for centuries.Nevertheless, intensive study of seed banks is a relatively recent advance in the quest to understand p
Introduction Every year in Himalayan pine forests, large scale human-induced forest fire occurs as a major disaster.Villagers often ignite the forest fire before the onset of monsoon, as an old practi
Introduction Lots of studies on forest soil seed bank (FSSB) by using soil cores to examine the relationship between the FSSB and the standing vegetation conclude that the similarity is very low due t
Introduction Soil seed banks provide seeds for the redevelopment of plant communities, and can be important component of the ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems, particularly when the specie
Introduction Suaeda aegyptiaca is an annual, halophytic, C4 weed that is widely distributed in Saudi Arabia.It grows in different habitats, including coastal areas and inland Sabkha, and as a ruderal
Introduction Secondary forests account for more than 50％ of the total forests in China and provide crucial ecosystem services such as timber production, water resource conservation, and biodiversity m
Introduction Suaeda vermiculata, S.monoica and S.maritima all grow in conditions of varying salinity in habitats across a wide geographical range in Saudi Arabia (Al-Turki 1992).
