“…Some authors suggest that the poor match between the seed bank and above ground vegetation results in a different vegetation establishing after disturbance (Brown & Oosterhuis 1981;Williams 1984;Morgan & Neuenschwander 1988),whereas others have expressed it as a potential alteration of the initial floristic composition (Swaine & Hall 1983;Hopkins & Graham 1984). From the non-forest sites, there was no indication from this or other studies that latesuccessional species persist for long periods to reestablish forest from the seed bank.…”

Soil seed banks at 21 sites covered with poor quality pasture, bracken femland, scrubland of broom or gorse, and various forest types, were examined by germinating seed in soil samples. At most sites the composition of upper and lower soil layers was similar. Persistent, deeply buried seed banks of Cytisus scoparius, Ulex europaeus, and more rarely Sophora microphylla, were discovered at seven sites, four of which lacked that particular species in the above-ground vegetation, and are thus considered to be of a former vegetation type. Forest sites tended to have more seeds and more species represented in the soil seed bank. Although an average of only 35% of the species in the seed bank were represented above ground at the sampling point, this rose to 60% within 5 m, and 72% within 10 m of that point. Those species further away were mostly widespread pasture weeds, even within forest sites, and are interpreted as being recently dispersed and transient. Large quantities of Juncus spp. in some sites are believed to be transported by water movement through the soil. Some species, including certain site dominants, were poorly or never represented in the soil seed bank. It is considered that the seed bank has an important role in establishing the initial floristic composition following disturbance. However, differential seedling survival, resprouting, and competition probably help in maintaining the predisturbance vegetation at non-forest sites. Where forest is disturbed, especially by burning, there is the potential for a completely different vegetation to develop from the seed bank.

“…Ces conclusions ressortent également des travaux de Oosting et Humphrey (1940), Olmstead et Curtis (1947), Numata et al (1964), Livingston et Allesio (1968), Hayashi et Numata (1971), Thompson et Grime (1979), Brown et Oosterhuis (1981), Hill et Stevens (1981), Fenner (1985, Nakagoshi (1985). En éliminant les espèces rares, on remarque que la différence entre la végétation de surface et celle du sol est due à la présence d'espèces dites "pionnières" ou "intolérantes à l'ombre".…”

“…La majorité des travaux effectués en milieu naturel signalent une absence de correspondance entre la végétation présente en surface et la flore de graines enfouies (Hayashi et Numata, 1971;Thompson et Grime, 1979;Brown et Oosterhuis, 1981;Hill et Stevens, 1981;Fenner, 1985;Nakagoshi, 1985). On suppose généralement que le réservoir de graines des sols est composé d'espèces végétales d'un stade précédent de la succession (Oosting et Humphreys, 1940;Olmstead et Curtis, 1947;Livingston et Allesio, 1968;Kellman, 1970;Marks, 1974;Marquis, 1975;Moore et Wein, 1977;Elliot, 1979;Morash et Freedman, 1983;Hirabuki, 1988).…”

“…Dendroarchaeological research showed that coppicing started in the Neolithic, and was practiced throughout the European history (Szabo, 2009). Brown & Oosterhuist (1981) rightfully used the term 'ancient coppice woods' for the forest that has been continuously coppiced more than two centuries (Mölder et al, 2015). First written records about coppicing come from 1384 (Bretholz, 1930) and about pollarding from 1523 (Fitzherbert in Read, 2000).…”

Ancient coppice woodlands are coppice-originated forest stands with a long-term continual development, and with the preserved typical natural and historic elements of old sprout forests. Prominent natural elements in the ancient coppice woodlands are namely old coppice stools. There is, in scientific literature, lack of information about features of ancient coppice stools. Therefore, our contribution aims to describe shape and form of ancient coppice stools, including the most important microhabitat of coppice woodlands -dendrothelms. Based on field survey of 20 localities of important coppice woodlands we recorded 135 ancient coppice stools of 13 tree species and a total of 80 dendrothelms in 9 tree species. Basic features of ancient coppice stools and dendrothlems were measured and evaluated.
