- Observation Seed-bank richness did not significantly differ by invasion status.
- Observation Vegetation richness did not significantly differ by invasion status.
- Observation Uninvaded areas did not have larger seed banks.
- Intervention effect Adding Oxalis bulbs increased seedling emergence, especially geophytes.
- Observation Invasion-status similarity was higher in the seed bank than vegetation.
- Observation Species-composition differences were as important as site differences.
- Observation Seed-bank and vegetation similarity was very low at 17%.
