• Alpine species seed longevity in the soil in relation to seed size and shape – A 5-year burial experiment in the Central Alps (2010, methodology): “The persistence description follows the system proposed by Thompson et al. (1997) separating seeds into three classes: (i) transient (o1 year), (ii) short-term persistent (1–5 years) and (iii) long-term persistent (Z5 years).”
• Species persistence in northerly glacial refugia of Europe: a matter of chance or biogeographical traits? (2008, background): “…the levels of soil nutrients and energy are both low, plants with smaller seeds are better adapted for survival (e.g. Welling et al., 2004) because small seeds have the ability to persist better in soil seed banks than do large seeds (Thompson, 1987; Thompson et al., 1993; Opik & Rolfe, 2005).”
• Seed size and plant strategy across the whole life cycle (2006, background): “…soil, the tendency of small-seeded species to produce seeds that spend long periods of time in the soil before germinating (Thompson and Grime 1979, Thompson 1987, Leck 1989, Thompson et al. 1993, 2001, Price and Joyner 1997, Bekker et al. 1998, Hodkinson et al. 1998, Funes et al. 1999, Moles et…”
• Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use (2008, methodology): “Thompson (1987) and Kotorová & Lep s (1999) demonstrated experimentally that germination of large-seeded species is less suppressed by Weighting of seed traits: response to environment 357 © 2007 The Authors.”
• Seed viability and dormancy of 17 weed species after 19.7 years of burial in Alaska (2006, background): “Seeds of herbaceous plants in Britain persisted longer in soil if seeds were small than if they were large (Bekker et al. 1998; Thompson 1987).”
• Integrating measurements of seed availability and removal to estimate weed seed losses due to predation (2006, background): “Predation occurs mainly on the soil surface after seed dispersal (Hulme 1994) and, to a much lesser extent, before dispersal, when seeds reside on the plant (Kjellsson 1985), or after seeds have been incorporated into the soil (Crawley 1992; Thompson 1987; White 2000).”
