Globally, soil water repellency is a major constraint to plant establishment, restricting water infiltration and moisture retention in the seed zone w...

Freshly collected seeds of 70 dicotyledons from a range of habitats were mixed with the top 7.5 cm of soil confined in cylinders sunk in the ground. C...

Restoration in rangelands is constrained by low establishment of species sown from seed. Non-biotic soil-surface crust is one of the major factors lim...

Weeds play an important role in arable and horticultural habitats, and models are being developed to improve our understanding of their population dyn...

Shingle beach vegetation at Sizewell, Suffolk, UK, was extensively damaged by the construction of a power station. The feasibility of restoring the ve...

Seed-based ecosystem restoration has huge potential to restore degraded drylands. However, fewer than 10% of directly sown seeds transition to establi...

1. The success of seed-based restoration in dryland regions of the world is often low or sporadic, with most mortality occurring between germination a...

Previously published literature on the population dynamics of a common arable weed, Chenopodium album, and its interactions with an arable crop, sugar...

In order to predict the optimum weeding period, a realistic estimate is needed of the size, timing and duration of a flush of weed emergence in a crop...

Ten species of Umbelliferae were examined with regard to the time of year at which seedlings emerged and the survival of seeds in cultivated soil. The...
