Abstract In arid and semi-arid sand dune ecosystems, belowground bud bank plays an important role in population regeneration and vegetation restoration. However, the responses of belowground bud bank size and composition to
sand burial and its induced changes in soil environmental factors have been rarely studied. In arid sand dunes
of Northwestern China, we investigated belowground bud bank size and composition of the typical rhizomatous
psammophyte Psammochloa villosa as well as three key soil environmental factors (soil moisture, total carbon and
total nitrogen) under different depths of sand burial. Total buds and rhizome buds increased significantly with… More >
