Abstract

Soil seed bank is an important part of plant diversity but little is known about its structure and dynamics. Soil seed bank size and composition like standing vegetation cab be influenced by environmental factors and management. Knowledge of soil seed bank and its changes can be important for conservation, restoration, and management of rangelands. In this study species composition in both vegetation and soil seed bank were identified for two rangelands (scrubland and shrubland) in Firoz Abad in Fars province. Soil seed bank size and composition was determined by soil sampling and seed germination in glasshouse. Results of this study showed that a total of 76 species were in both vegetation and soil seed bank but most of them were either unique to the seed bank or vegetation. We found only five species common in both. Species richness in standing vegetation was more than that in soil seed bank. Greater number of SEEDS germinated from upper layer of soil (5 cm). There was no similarity between vegetation and soil seed bank in both vegetation types, thus management needs to take in account both source of species.
