- Association The decrease in seed bank density with depth was affected by increasing S. cryptandrus cover.
- Association Neither diversity nor seed bank density of other species was affected by increasing S. cryptandrus cover.
- Association Diversity and seed bank density of other species were both affected by the sampling site.
- Association Most studied seed bank characteristics were affected by sampling depth.
- Association None of the studied seed bank characteristics were affected by increasing S. cryptandrus cover.
- Association Increasing S. cryptandrus cover in the vegetation was associated with an increasing proportion of S. cryptandrus seeds in the seed bank.
- Observation A soil seed bank of S. cryptandrus was found even in plots without S. cryptandrus cover.
- Observation S. cryptandrus forms a massive soil seed bank.
- Observation The authors conclude that the massive seed bank together with predicted summer precipitation decrease and more frequent droughts projects further rapid spread of the species.
