Seed rain and soil seed bank in Chinese fir plantations and an adjacent natural forest in southern China: Implications for the regeneration of native species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8539
Abstract: Abstract The natural regeneration of native broadleaved species underneath forest monoculture plantations is important to recover ecosystem functions and to mitigate adverse environmental effects. To understand how seed rain and soil seed bank facilitate natural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9924
Abstract: Abstract Seed banks, the collection of viable seeds in the soil, are particularly important determinants of population survival in highly variable environments. Predictions of increased stochasticity in the amount and timing of precipitation in desert… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3651
Abstract: A goal in trait-based ecology is to understand and predict plant community responses to environmental change; however, diversity stored within seed banks that may expand or limit these responses is typically overlooked. If seed banks… read more here.

Separation of timescales for the seed bank diffusion and its jump-diffusion limit

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-021-01596-0
Abstract: We investigate scaling limits of the seed bank model when migration (to and from the seed bank) is ‘slow’ compared to reproduction. This is motivated by models for bacterial dormancy, where periods of dormancy can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-017-0370-2
Abstract: The 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… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-020-01355-9
Abstract: Soil seed banks serve as reservoirs of taxonomic and genetic diversity and can buffer the effect of perturbations on plant communities, and thus are critical for community resilience. We studied the relationship of seed bank… read more here.
