Title: Study on the soil seed bank in flood plain grassland of the Fen River in Taiyuan
Abstract: The basic characteristics of the soil seed bank in flood plain grassland of the Fen River in Taiyuan region were investigated and studied. It was showed that there were 17 species of herb, 2 species of bush in this area. Among them, 15 species were annual which accounting for 78.9%, 14 species were typical wet land plant which accounting for 73.7%. They were dominant species in the soil seed bank. The maximum density of the seed was 33033 grains/m 2 and the minimum was 400 grains/m 2 which average density was 21461 grains/m 2. The density was depended on the ecology characteristics of the species or of the bearing fruits. The soil seed bank was affected by trends of the river flow, the soil moisture content and quality, the people activity etc. Horizontally, the further distance of the river to soil located , the higher density of seed bank was.
