Contrasting dynamics of seed banks and standing vegetation of annuals and perennials along a rainfall gradient
Niv DeMalach, Jaime Kigel, Marcelo Sternberg
The soil seed bank is a major component of plant communities. However, long-term analyses of the dynamics of the seed bank and the ensuing vegetation are rare. Here, we studied the…

The soil seed bank can buffer long-term compositional changes in annual plant communities
Niv DeMalach, Jaime Kigel, Marcelo Sternberg
Ecological theory predicts that the soil seed bank stabilises the composition of annual plant communities in the face of environmental variability. However, long-term data on the c…
