Abstract

We conducted the seed banks survey of abandoned rice fields in Nakaikemi, Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. We examined the soil samples from six study sites with different kinds of vegetationand confirmed the existence of diverse seed banks. Species composition of the seed banks was not entirelycoincident with the species composition of the current vegetation. We confirmed that most of the speciesgerminated from the soil of Phragmites australis and Zizania latifolia communities were the dominantplants at the early stage of abandoned rice field succession. Our study showed that plowing is effective forthe restoration of species-rich vegetation.
