Introduction Seed persistence in the soil is a phenomenon that has been recognised for centuries.Nevertheless, intensive study of seed banks is a relatively recent advance in the quest to understand plant ecology, with emphasis previously centred on aboveground factors such as plant growth, reproduction and survival (Baker 1985).
