Soil seed bank of three populations of Capparis decidua (Forssk .) edgew
Capparis decidua occurs in isolated populations in Saudi Arabia.Abdel‐Mawgood et al.,(2006) reported that a C.Decidua population near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia apparently did not regenerate for several years.This observation raises the question about soil seed bank status of the species as soil seed bank plays an important role in the composition and conservation of plant communities (Luo and Wang, 2006 ).The aim of this study was to asses soil seed bank status of C.Decidua and companion species in three C.Decidua populations near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the possible influence of wind direction and distance from plant source on soil seed bank size and species richness.
