Phylogenetic relatedness mediates persistence and density of soil seed banks
Soil seed banks can strongly affect survival and expansion of plant populations by
spreading mortality risks and distributing genetic diversity through time. Knowledge of the …

Ready for change: Seed traits contribute to the high adaptability of mudflat species to their unpredictable habitat
Question A better understanding of species distribution and establishment requires in‐depth
information on their seed ecology. We hypothesised that seed traits of mudflat species may …

Physically, physiologically and conceptually hidden: Improving the description and communication of seed persistence
Seed persistence is a trait that is difficult to observe or measure and, consequently has
remained conceptually obscure for 40 years since Grubb's influential description of the …

Machine‐learning algorithms predict soil seed bank persistence from easily available traits
Question Soil seed banks (SSB), ie pools of viable seeds in the soil and on its surface, play
a crucial role in plant biology and ecology. Information on seed persistence in soil is of great …
