Abstract
Seed bank dynamics and vegetation analysis were undertaken in the eastern outskirts of Jeddah town. Seven
plant communities are recorded namely Lasiurus scindicus, Calotropis procera, Blyttia fruticulosum, Cappparis
decidua, Panicum turgidum, Suaeda monoica-Tamarix aphylla and Zygophyllum simplex community. Eighty
eight species of vascular plants are recorded.
The study included also the evaluation of seed buried in the soil (seed bank). Relations between
communities and their habitat types as well as the seed bank dynamics in the area are briefly discussed.
