Co-occurring grazing and climate stressors have different effects on the total seed bank when compared to the persistent seed bank

Questions: (1) Does climate amelioration in semi-arid ecosystems increase seed bank richness and seed density in both total and persistent seed banks? (2) Does herbivory modulate climate effects on soil seed banks? (3) Is this effect mediated by changes in the above-ground vegetation? (4) To what ex...
