How much seed remains in the soil after a fire? (2006, background): “Overall these data are consistent with other studies in a range of plants in fire-prone habitats, where most seeds are found in the top 0–3 or 0–5 cm of soil (e.g. de Lange and Boucher 1993; Holmes 2002).”
Seed banks of invasive Australian Acacia species in South Africa: Role in invasiveness and options for management (2008, background): “…fynbos was found to be similar to that of corresponding uninvaded fynbos at all sites, indicating that there is good potential for a return to speciesrich fynbos vegetation after removal of alien acacia species (Holmes and Cowling, 1997; Holmes et al., 2000; Holmes, 2002; Cilliers et al., 2004).”
Biological Control of Australian Acacia Species and Paraserianthes lophantha (Willd.) Nielsen (Mimosaceae) in South Africa (2011, background): “With Australian Acacia species, the use of this guild of agents alone is unlikely to achieve any meaningful reduction in host-plant density, at least not in the foreseeable future, due to the prolific annual seed-production of the plants, which results in vast accumulations of long-lived seeds in th”
Reproductive biology of Australian acacias: important mediator of invasiveness? (2011, unknown): “…3: Cohen et al. (2008); 4: Fourie (2008); 5: Grice & Westoby (1987); 6: C. Harris et al. (unpublished data); 7: Hellum (1990); 8: Holmes (1989); 9: Holmes (2002); 10: Holmes et al. (1987); 11: Jasson (2005); 12: Kulkarni et al. (2007); 13: H. Marchante, unpublished data; 14: Marchante et al.…”
Patterns of seed persistence in South African fynbos (2004, background): “Viable Passerina seeds were present under a monoculture of alien Acacia and inferred from post-fire vegetation age to be a minimum of 16 years old (Holmes 2002), and 97% of Passerina seeds survived 14 months'”
Impact of the gall-forming rust fungus Uromycladium tepperianum on the invasive tree Acacia saligna in South Africa: 15 years of monitoring (2007, unknown): “saligna is a reduction in diversity and seed bank of the indigenous fynbos vegetation, the reduction increasing with length of invasion (Macdonald and Richardon, 1986; Holmes and Cowling, 1997a; Holmes, 2002).”
Impacts of invasive Australian acacias: implications for management and restoration (2011, background): “After a fire, in the newly formed, dense Acacia stand (A), fynbos seed banks persist in the soil at lower densities (E; Holmes, 2002); following a”
