Fig. 4. Changes in germination of seeds buried in soil (A) with and (B) without seed bags. Proportions of dead, germinated, laboratory-germinated, and dormant seeds of the four plant species buried at a depth of 10 cm in soil (C) with and (D) without seed bags over 48 weeks. The data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Colored areas and symbols indicate seed state (green, germinated; yellow, germinated in the laboratory; blue, dormant; red, dead).
