Description
Petr Plohák, Hana Švehláková, Barbara Stalmachová, Miroslava Goňo, and Tomáš Dvorský test two ways to read a soil seed bank, in a paper dated twenty twenty-five. Their site was a flooded post-mining basin in the Czech Karviná region. Five hundred forty soil cores were split between growing out and direct seed extraction.
Above ground held 115 plant species. Growing yielded sixty species from about fifteen hundred seedlings; extraction found sixty-six from nearly six thousand seeds. Using both methods caught more species and matched the living flora better. Tree cover shaped the extraction yield, the team notes.
