Comparison of methods to estimate soil seed banks: the role of seed size and mass
TL;DR: Seed density found in the grassland soil with the extraction method was four times higher than that found with the seedling emergence method, and this method was more effective in detecting seeds of large-seeded species.

TL;DR: The viral distribution in Peru changed upon the introduction of the pH1N1 virus compared to previous months, and although influenza A viruses continue to be the predominant viral pathogen, the pH 1N1irus predominated over the other influenza A virus.
Overgrazing causes a reduction in the vegetation cover and seed bank of Patagonian grasslands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the contribution of the seed bank to recovery of the degraded grasslands and found that Pappostipa speciosa were the only perennial grass seeds present in the seed banks of both grasslands.

Effects of volcanic ash deposition on the early recovery of gap vegetation in Northwestern Patagonian steppes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the effect of ash deposition on vegetation recovery in inter-plant patches (gaps) following the eruption of the Puyehue-Cordon Caulle volcano (June 2011) in the Northwestern Patagonian steppe of Argentina.

Dwarf shrub facilitates seedling recruitment and plant diversity in semiarid grasslands
TL;DR: The results show that A. splendens act as a nurse species increasing the richness in the non-degraded grassland and facilitating the seedling recruitment of an important forage species in the degraded grassland, indicating that this restoration tool is limited by climate.
