Defining transient and persistent seed banks in species with pronounced seasonal dormancy and germination patterns (2005, background): “Seeds of species with morphophysiological dormancy (MPD) can also form persistent seed banks (Baskin and Baskin, 1998; Baskin et al., 2003; Thompson et al., 2003), and this type of dormancy occurs in fresh seeds of about 8% of all species, or in about 12% of the species whose seeds are dormant at ma”
The natural history of soil seed banks of arable land (2006, background): “Thus, as pointed out by Thompson et al. (2003), dormancy is not required for long-term persistence of seeds in the soil.”
Seed dormancy and the control of germination. (2006, background): “In temperate regions, seeds may cycle through different depths of dormancy in the seed bank for prolonged periods, but may also persist in a state that only requires light to terminate dormancy and induce germination (Thompson et al., 2003; Fenner & Thompson, 2005).”
Structural, physiological and molecular aspects of heterogeneity in seeds: a review (2005, background): “However, the correlation between seed dormancy and persistence is extremely weak (Thompson et al., 2003), perhaps because seed dormancy and persistence are quite different phenomena (Baskin and Baskin, 1998).”
Seed survival in soil: interacting effects of predation, dormancy and the soil microbial community (2011, background): “seeds have no such barriers: they are ready to germinate, but only do so when conditions are favourable (Vegis 1963; Murdoch & Ellis 2000; Khurana & Singh 2001; Thompson et al. 2003).”
A classification system for seed dormancy (2004, background): “Vleeshouwers et al. (1995) and Thompson et al. (2003) have also discussed the inadequacy of the Harper system in describing seed dormancy.”
The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “‘Delayed germination’ and some kind of seed persistence can result from seeds being dormant, or from non-dormant seeds not getting the appropriate cues for germination, which makes it very difficult to establish an exact correspondence between dormancy and persistence of seeds in the soil (Thompson ”
Seed banks of invasive Australian Acacia species in South Africa: Role in invasiveness and options for management (2008, background): “The extreme persistence of the seeds (450 years Holmes, 1989a; longer than any native plant species; Holmes and Newton, 2004) is due to physical dormancy (Baskin and Baskin, 1998; Thompson et al., 2003) caused by the impermeability of their seed coats (Rolston, 1978).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “A recent analysis of the relationship between seed dormancy and persistence in the soil demonstrates that although non-dormant seeds have a slight tendency to be less persistent, dormancy is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for the accumulation of a persistent seed bank, and there is n”
Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “These species generally have low seed production because they alternate sexual reproduction with vegetative reproduction and their seeds have short-term persistence in the soil (Bakker 1989; Thompson et al. 2003; Thompson and Grime 1979).”
Alpine species seed longevity in the soil in relation to seed size and shape – A 5-year burial experiment in the Central Alps (2010, background): “Although physical dormancy is scarcely related with persistence and non-dormant seeds have a slight tendency to be less persistent, there is no general possibility to predict persistence from dormancy (Thompson et al., 2003).”
