Abstract

(1) Populations of buried viable seeds of Acacia cyclops and A. saligna, invasive aliens of fynbos, were estimated to assess the effects on them of different shrub-clearing treatments, (2) Seed populations of both species declined significantly after 1 year with burning, but in general, not thereafter, (3) Seed banks of A. cyclops, but not of A. saligna, were reduced by shrub felling alone after 1 year, apparently because a high proportion of seeds do not have seed-coat induced dormancy, and thus germinate immediately, [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
