Global patterns in soil seed bank seasonality: a meta-analysis of ecosystem and functional group dynamics
These findings reveal the seasonal dynamics of soil seed banks at the global scale and demonstrate how ecosystem types and plant functional groups influence these patterns. Overall, this study provides new insights into plant community succession and ecosystem management.
