摘要: Selection of sites for wetland restoration requires analysis probable success at recreating diverse natural vegetation. We studied the seed banks and remnant vegetation to determine their degree similarity that developed following hydrology. The study had been used forage crops pasture long-term drainage. bank was a very poor predictor plant species abundances restoration. Similarity between restored consistently higher than values using both wetlands. Our results suggest seed-bank is an inefficient technique predicting in with prolonged disturbance, on probably more useful. However, would differ tile drainage have limited or created wetlands bare soil ...
