The soil seed bank can buffer long-term compositional changes in annual plant communities

Niv DeMalach et al.

Summary: The composition of the seed bank differs from the standing vegetation over the years, with small-seeded and dormant-seeded species having higher frequency in the seed bank. There is no significant difference in the year-to-year variability between the seed bank and vegetation, but long-term compositional trends are weaker in the seed bank compared to the vegetation.

Temporal stability of biomass in annual plant communities is driven by species diversity and asynchrony, but not dominance

Jaime Kigel et al.

Summary: The study reveals that biomass stability in annual plant communities in the Mediterranean region is higher due to factors such as increased biomass production, species richness, and evenness. Species asynchrony plays a key role in driving stability at the local spatial scale. Biomass production and richness indirectly affect stability through asynchrony, but with different impacts at each site.

Vulnerability of grassland seed banks to resource-enhancing global changes

Anu Eskelinen et al.

Summary: Soil seed banks play a crucial role in the resilience of communities to global changes. This study found that nutrient enrichment and increased rainfall can significantly impact the composition and diversity of both aboveground and belowground communities. The vulnerability of seed banks to shifts in aboveground communities highlights the importance of understanding the interactions between aboveground and belowground components in grassland ecosystems.

Drivers of seedling establishment success in dryland restoration efforts

Nancy Shackelford et al.

Summary: Restoration of degraded drylands is crucial to mitigate climate change, with seeding of native species playing a critical role. Research shows that around one-third of seeding projects are successful, while 17% fail. Success of seeding establishment is influenced by factors such as seeding rate, seed size, site aridity, taxonomic identity, and species life form.

Extreme drought has limited effects on soil seed bank composition in desert grasslands

Alejandro Loydi et al.

Summary: In the blue grama community, rainfall treatments increased above-ground vegetation and seed bank richness, while not affecting the black grama community. Vegetation cover was affected by both rainfall manipulations, but seed bank density increased or remained the same. Drought led to an increase in cover of annual and perennial forbs in above-ground vegetation.
