Aim of Research To determine soil seed bank of two
valleys:
By habitat
By soil depth
By seed size
By method

Conclusion
The seed bank and a germination rate in
riparian zone is higher than other zones.
Seed bank in in 0-5 cm depth of soil higher
than below.
The seed bigger than 2mm is most
common
Seed germination rate is significantly differs
by soil depths.
