Title
Does invasion by an alien plant species affect the soil seed bank?

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Seed bank and vegetation species richness did not differ significantly between invaded and uninvaded areas.
- Association Uninvaded areas did not have larger seed banks than invaded areas.
- Intervention effect Adding O. pes-caprae bulbs increased seedling emergence, especially geophytes.
- Observation Invaded and uninvaded areas were more similar in seed bank species than vegetation species.
- Observation Species composition differences between invasion states were as important as site differences.
- Observation Seed bank and standing vegetation had low species similarity of 17%.
