Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine the composition and density of the persistent SOIL SEED BANK of Darkola oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) forest and comparison of its seed bank composition with its above- ground vegetations. The study of ground vegetation was carried out with releve method and the SOIL SEED BANK was estimated by the SEEDLING EMERGENCE METHOD. For this purpose 52 releves were made by systematic- selective method with consideration of indicator stand concept. In each releve, soil samples were collected in each releve by using 20 cm × 20 cm square metal frame in 6 repetitions at the beginning of 2007 growth season. The metal frame was hammered into the soil to a depth 10 cm. Sixty- three species representing 57 genera and 36 families emerged from SOIL SEED BANKs with Lamiaceae, Poaceae and Asteracea being best represented. The mean density of seedlings for the study area was 4202 seedlings/m2. Hypericum androsaemum L. exhibited the highest density with 1590 seedlings/m2, followed by Athyrium flix- femina (L.) (1227 seedlings/m2), Cardamine impatiens L. (570 seedlings/m2), Rubus hyrcanus Woron (286 seedlings/m2) and Pteris cretica L. (152 seedlings/m2). Alnus subcordata C. A. Mey was the only one tree that with the mean density 6.8 seedlings/m2 contributed in the SOIL SEED BANKs. Forbs, with the possession of 90% seed bank flora, were the most numerous growth forms. The comparison of seed bank and above vegetation revealed that 28 species in the SOIL SEED BANK are absent in the vegetation and 44 species in the vegetation do not occur in the seed bank. This result not only explains low similarity between SOIL SEED BANK and vegetation but also confirm that the most species of ground vegetation do not depend on the SOIL SEED BANK for regeneration.
