List of species found in the seed bank (per family, life form, seed dispersal and origin), in the three study areas: abandoned pasture with soil amended by the partial beheading of

hypothesized that there would be greater seed rain (in terms of both abundance and richness) dispersal: (i) closer to forest fragments, with seed abundance and richness being lower

The following conclusions and/or recommendations can be taken: 1- The great seed MC range in a soybean seed lot harvested at field maturity leads to the presence of seeds

Will the value of seed be of more or less importance to the farmer? Will farmers remain the principal users of seed or will agriculture become more specialized as value-added

Compared to seed number in 2008, palms of both the Restinga Forest and the Atlantic Rainforest produced in 2009 higher yields of smaller seeds – evidence of between years seed

(Fig. 1) it could be speculated that this species can build up in the soil seed bank (i.e., is capable of dispersing in time), and that soil cultivation may actually enhance

Four seed lots of the simple hybrid Buster were used, testing two forms of seed pre-conditioning (direct immersion in water and between moistened paper towels); two types
