Diversity and density of the desert seed bank: Interplays between cacti and nurse shrub species

Omar Varela et al.

Summary: The presence of shrubs can affect species richness and seed density in desert soils. The study found that species richness and seed density were higher under shrubs compared to open spaces, with no significant differences between shrub species.

Seed bank offers potential for active restoration of mountain meadows

Kristin Ludewig et al.

Summary: The invasive nitrogen-fixing legume Lupinus polyphyllus has caused habitat degradation in semi-natural mountainous grasslands in Europe, but its effects on the seed bank were minimal, with the seed bank showing potential for active restoration of species-rich mountain meadows.
