• Effect of spatial scale on factors limiting species distributions in dry grassland fragments (2004, background): “Dry chalk grasslands have been the subject of many recent studies on the importance of site and seed availability for species diversity on the local scale (e.g. Hutchings & Stewart 2002; Kalamees & Zobel 2002; Tofts & Silvertown 2002).”
• Restoration potential of the persistent soil seed bank in successional calcareous (alvar) grasslands in Estonia (2012, background): “…because characteristic grassland species do not possess seeds that persist in the soil (in Europe: Davies & Waite 1998; Kalamees & Zobel 1998; Rosén & van der Maarel 2000; Kalamees & Zobel 2002; Bisteau & Mahy 2005; Bossuyt et al. 2006; Valkó et al. 2011; in North America: Stark et al. 2003).”
• The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “Additionally, the importance of recruitment from seeds compared to resprouting or lateral growth from outside the gap has been shown to depend on gap size (Milberg, 1993; Dalling and Hubbell, 2002; Kalamees and Zobel, 2002).”
• The role of the seed bank, seed rain and the timing of disturbance in gap regeneration (2005, methodology): “…year was similar to that in other studies using moderately sized gaps (i.e. where clonal growth from the edge of the gap is of limited importance); 43% contribution from the seed bank compared to 44% in calcareous grassland (Kalamees & Zobel 2002) and 45% in acidic grassland (Pakeman et al. 1998).”
• Microbial seed banks: the ecological and evolutionary implications of dormancy (2011, background): “Seed banks also determine how communities recover from disturbanc”
• Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) affect plant seedling recruitment and microhabitat heterogeneity (2006, background): “As the soil seed bank contributes strongly to the resilience of grassland communities, speeding up regeneration following disturbances (Uhl et al. 1981; Marks & Mohler 1985; Kalamees & Zobel 2002), earthworms play an important role in the stability of grassland systems.”
• Management effects on the vegetation and soil seed bank of calcareous grasslands: An 11-year experiment (2011, unknown): “For example, Willems and Bik (1998) reported seed bank densities of 770 seeds m 2, Bossuyt et al. (2006) 930 seeds m 2, Akinola et al. (1998) 2549 seeds m 2 and Kalamees and Zobel (2002) 2362 seeds m 2.”
• Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “…deposited or produced at the site less than a year earlier), from the germination of persistent seeds from the soil seed bank (i.e., seed deposited or produced at the site more than a year earlier), or from ramet production from nearby individuals (Thompson and Grime 1979; Kalamees and Zobel 2002).”
