Longevity of experimentally buried seed in Vaccinium: relationship to climate, reproductive factors and natural seed banks

2005-12-01

Abstract excerpt

1. The fleshy fruited species of Vaccinium are known for their spatial dispersal ability but have generally been found to have poor representation in soil seed banks. 2. A buried seed experiment was conducted with 28 species of Vaccinium, in which seed lots were exhumed at intervals for up to 17 years. Mean species seed longevity was 8.65 years. For five species that persisted in soil for 15-17 years, regression i...
