Balancing your account in the soil seed bank
About this episode
Nathan Lambstrom discusses the impact of the soil seed bank on ecological restoration and garden management.
A square foot of topsoil typically hosts thousands of dormant seeds deposited by previous floras. Nathan Lambstrom of Lambstrom Garden Ecology discusses his research into how this "soil seed bank" can enhance or derail ecological restoration, and how to manage your "account" to benefit your garden.
