- W342334466 abstract "When I was a child, playing in the meadows and woods, I (A.S.) was fascinated by all the seedlings coming out of seemingly lifeless soil where the ponds dried out, a new river bank was exposed or a mole built its hill. Beggarticks (Bidens tripartita) quickly covered the former pond; the river bank turned blue with forget-me-nots (Myosotis pratensis); and molehills were crowned with stitchwort (Stellaria media). It was a difficult experience when my parents had me weed out our overgrown vegetable garden where lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) from the seed bank grew faster than the radishes we had sown. I learned, however, to distinguish the few Calendula seedlings and to keep some flowers for my mother. Later, my fascination persisted as I asked myself why there were so many heather seedlings in the place where the pinewoods burned, but so few thistles? Why did many seedlings sometimes emerge in a footprint, but not just beside it? Why did the annual grass Bromus rubens show up every year, but on the same site Glaucium corniculatum only every other year? And why did some plants make such prominent seed banks and others none at all? Some of us would be satisfied with answers like ‘the large size of Calendula and Carduus seeds limits the number that can be produced by the plant and which will get buried’ or ‘decades ago heathland grew where the pinewood used to be’. But others of us, inspired by Darwin’s ‘three tablespoonsful of mud’ from which he grew 537 plants, also want to understand the evolution of soil seed banks, pursuing the deeper sense to the ‘why’ question in biology that Darwin (1859) gave us. The goal of this chapter is to help to answer the questions on: (i) types and definitions of soil seed banks; (ii) how soil seed reservoirs can evolve; (iii) what functional role seed banks play in the dynamics of natural communities; and (iv) what are adaptive traits to build up soil seed banks. By the ‘functional role’ of soil seed banks we mean their role in population dynamics, their adaptive role, the effect seed banks have on communities and coexistence, and the role of soil seed banks in the evolution of other plant traits through interactive selection. These aspects will" @default.
