Climate and land use are key determinants of biodiversity, with past and ongoing changes posing serious threats to global ecosystems. Unlike most other organism groups, plant species can possess dormant life‐history stages such as soil seed banks, which may help plant communities to resist or at least postpone the detrimental impact of global changes. This study investigates the potential for soil seed banks to achieve this.

土壤种子库对土地利用和气候的响应对植物群落组成的缓冲作用

气候和土地利用是生物多样性的关键决定因素，过去和正在进行的变化对全球生态系统构成了严重威胁。与大多数其他生物体不同，植物物种可以拥有处于休眠状态的生命历史阶段，例如土壤种子库，这可能有助于植物群落抵御或至少推迟全球变化的不利影响。这项研究调查了土壤种子库实现这一目标的潜力。
