土壤种子库研究进展

Advances in Research of Soil Seed Bank

土壤种子库是指存在于一定体积土壤表面及内部所有有活力的种子总称。土壤种子库作为"潜在的植物种群",对地上植被的恢复起着决定性的作用。文章从土壤种子库的概念、大小、分类、与地上植被关系以及研究方法等方面,对近年土壤种子库研究现状进行综述,对其热点进行分析,对研究方向进行展望,以便为土壤种子库的研究打下基础。

The soil seed bank means the whole survived seeds existing in the surface of soil and deep in the soil. As the potential plant population, soil seed bank plays a significant role for the vegetation restoration. The paper elaborated on reviewing the concept, size, classification of the soil seed bank as well as its relationships with the above-ground vegetation and methodology concerning it. The advances in soil seed bank research during recent years, the hot spots and future direction in soil seed bank research were analyzed and discussed so as to lay the foundation for filrther study.
