It is well documented that the recovery of dryland plant communities following wildfire can be
variable, and that legacies of fire can have long‐lasting effects on aboveground plant …

Abstract Evaluation of soil seed bank (SSB) in relation to biotic environmental factors could
be important in degraded areas, since SSB is one of the major sources that facilitates the …

Shrub communities often modify understory soil and vegetation characteristics. However, the
effect of individual shrubs on the soil seed bank (y6SSB) could be variable in grasslands …

Little information is available about the effects of different species of shrubs on the
composition of the soil seed bank (SSB) in the semiarid regions. We determined the role of …

The soil seed bank present in forests serves as a crucial indicator of soil resilience following
disturbances. The objective of this study was to investigate the composition, density, and …

Woody plants can modify microclimate, nutrients, and seed availability in the soil. We
studied the influence of two shrub species on species diversity, and seed density in the …

Conservation and management of drylands is a global challenge. Key attributes of these
ecosystems, such as dominant vegetation including shrubs, can provide a crucial …

Question Do shrubs negatively affect the germination of perennial grass species in
regeneration microsites? We experimentally analyzed the effect of soils from plant patches …

The soil seed bank is crucial for the stability and regeneration of the specialised gypsum
plant communities. The presence of shrubs influences the spatial structure of the soil seed …

Ecological resource availability is crucial for the persistence and survival of local desert
animal communities. Dryland resources such as shrubs and burrows positively benefit …
