Abstract
  The study of soil seed bank provides useful information on management and restoration of natural ecosystems. In the arid environments, some perennial plants may cause accumulation of seed bank under their canopy, thereby protecting them against the livestock herbivory and the other environmental factors. ...  Read More

Abstract
  Rangeland shrubs may provide mechanical facilitation on their understory plants, by protecting themagainst the livestock grazing. However, such a facilitation effect may vary depending on the rangelandutilization rate. In a field research, mechanical facilitation of rangeland shrubs was compared in ahighly ...  Read More
