<b>Diaspore bank of aquatic macrophytes maintaining species diversity in a Neotropical pond

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The diaspore bank is an important component of biological diversity acting mainly as storage and source of diaspores, which also indicate dynamics and patterns of maintenance of plant diversity. We tested the hypothesis that the diaspore bank would be the responsible factor for the maintenance of the aquatic plant species, used two techniques to evaluate the diaspore bank: seedling emergence and direct counting of field samples. Density and richness of the diaspore bank were correlated with plant cov… Show more

“…Diaspore bank surveys are another major reason why the potential of oospore based charophyte identification should be further explored. Diaspore banks consist of seeds and charophyte oospores trapped in sediment, and are seen as a potential maintainer of plant diversity (Ferreira et al 2016). They also offer the possibility for the recovery of native diversity (Nishihiro et al 2006;Amano et al 2008) and assess the changes in species composition over time (Lu et al 2012).…”

“…& Zucc. (Nymphaeales, Nymphaeaceae) (Ferreira et al 2016). It is known that species of this genus are dominant in a range of water depths between 0.5 and 3 m (e.g., Spence 1982), with a tolerance of significant water level changes, the phases with the presence of water being ideal for flowering.…”
