Vertical distribution of soil seed bank and the ecological importance of deeply buried seeds in alkaline grasslands

Vertical distribution of soil seed bank and the ecological importance of deeply buried seeds in alkaline grasslands

Background Soil seed banks play a central role in vegetation dynamics and may be an important source of ecological restoration. However, the vast majority of seed bank studies examined only the uppermost soil layers (0–10 cm); hence, our knowledge on the depth distribution of seed bank and the ecolo...
