Soil seedbank development of smoke-responsive plant species in a 23-year restoration chronosequence and implications for resilience to fire

These data refer to the paper "Soil seedbank development of smoke-responsive plant species in a 23-year restoration chronosequence and implications for resilience to fire" by Cowan et al., (2023). Across a 23-year chronosequence restored after sand mining, smoke was applied to the species rich soil seedbank (SSB) to trigger germination and test how the SSB develops in Banksia woodlands. We measured counts by species in three 1x4m smoked plots, and three 1xm control (unsmoked) plots. Aboveground vegetation was assessed in five 4x4m plots, each with two 0.7m microplots.

本数据集源自Cowan等人于2023年发表的论文《在23年修复演替序列中烟敏感植物物种土壤种子库的发展及其对火灾抗逆性的影响》。在经历了23年砂矿开采后的修复演替序列中，研究人员对富含物种的土壤种子库（SSB）施加烟雾以诱导种子发芽，并测试该种子库在 Banksia 林地中的发展情况。研究通过测量三个1x4m烟雾处理地块及三个1xm对照（未施烟）地块中的物种数量进行物种计数，同时在五个4x4m的地块上评估地表植被，每个地块包含两个0.7m的微区。
