Debra P. Coffin; William K. Lauenroth American Journal of Botany 1989. doi:10.2307/2444773
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Annual plant seeds largely explained differences between the two communities.
- Observation Temporal variability mattered more than spatial variability for germinable seed storage.
- Observation Numbers of stored seeds differed between the two sampling years and seasonally within years.
- Observation Seedling emergence from samples ranged from 122 to 2,748 per square meter.
- Association Plant community species composition corresponded poorly with stored germinable seeds.
- Observation Most species had a transient presence in the seed bank.
