Seed bank bias: Differential tracking of functional traits in the seed bank and vegetation across a gradient.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology"
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.

DOI: 10.1007/s00285-021-01639-6
Abstract: The goal of this article is to contribute towards the conceptual and quantitative understanding of the evolutionary benefits for (microbial) populations to maintain a seed bank consisting of dormant individuals when facing fluctuating environmental conditions.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2020.104503
Abstract: Abstract The effectiveness of seed-reducing biocontrol agents, particularly for perennial trees with long-lived seed banks, remains a subject of debate. General consensus is that exceptionally high and consistent levels of damage are required to have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2019.103904
Abstract: Abstract Dormant seed embryos in seed banks can experience hydration cycles that subject them to water stress (WS) and then fast hydration (FH). Physiological and cytological aspects of embryos of the Cerrado (neotropical savanna) palm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2016.11.030
Abstract: Plant seeds exhibit many species-specific traits, thus potentially being especially helpful for forensic investigations. Seeds of a broad range of plant species occur in soil seed banks of various habitats and may become attached in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoforum.2019.05.014
Abstract: Abstract Over the past three decades, seeds banks have emerged as a major strategy for building seed systems resilience to climate change. Often initiated and funded by non-governmental organizations, seeds banks have grown prolifically, but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/14735903.2020.1747199
Abstract: ABSTRACT Community seed banks (CSBs) are initiatives to support the conservation and use of diverse crops though locally rooted collective action. The impact of CSBs is assumed to be complex, but has not been investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13437
Abstract: Soil seed banks can strongly affect survival and expansion of plant populations by spreading mortality risks and distributing genetic diversity through time. Knowledge of the main factors regulating the ability of seeds to persist in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13783
Abstract: Abstract With globalisation facilitating the movement of plants and seeds beyond the native range, preventing potentially harmful introductions requires knowledge of what drives the successful establishment and spread of alien plants. Here, we examined global‐scale… read more here.
