Twenty-eight taxa were recorded in the soil seed bank and 83 taxa (70 taxa in plots of seed bank sampling) in the aboveground vegetation. The dominant tree species and many woodland species found in the above-ground vegetation were absent from the soil seed bank. Similarity between the soil seed bank and the aboveground vegetation decreased with grazing, and grazing led to a decrease of species richness in above-ground vegetation and soil seed bank. Beta diversity of vegetation among grazed and among nongrazed plots did not differ, but was signiﬁcantly higher between grazed and non-grazed areas. Beta diversity of the soil seed bank declined with grazing. When applying classiﬁcation tree and logistic regression analyses, non-grazed forest sites are clearly differentiated by the presence of Phillyrea latifolia, Euphorbia amygdaloides and Brachypodium sylvaticum. PCA ordination of above-ground species composition reﬂected a gradient from sites grazed by ruminants to non-grazed sites, but no clear structure was detected in the seed bank.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaideftou, Evgenia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thanos, Costas a</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bergmeier, Erwin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kallimanis, Athanasios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dimopoulos, Panayotis</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seed bank composition and above-ground vegetation in response to grazing in sub-Mediterranean oak forests (NW Greece)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Ecology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">á ruminants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deciduous oak forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">deciduous oak forests á</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">grazing á browsing á</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grazing Browsing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">greece</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">greece á wild boar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruminants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soil seed bank</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">soil seed bank á</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wild boar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wood pasture</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">wood pasture á</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2008///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11258-008-9548-1http://link.springer.com/10.1007/s11258-008-9548-1</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">201</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">255 - 265</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1125800895</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We investigate the persistent soil seed bank composition and its relation to the above-ground ﬂora of grazed and non-grazed sub-Mediterranean deciduous oak forests of NW Greece.
