Ecology of soil seed banks /

This text consists of 17 papers beginning with two introductory papers on general concepts, methodological issues, and the natural history of seed banks. The body of the text is divided into 3 major sections. The first is on seed bank processes of regeneration, dormancy, germination, and evolutionar...
