Methods The field burial experiment was conducted during an 18-month period at the site of the original seed collection at Alax Desert of Nei Mongol, China during April 2008 to October 2009. The species included Lespe- deza potaninii, Nitraria tangutorum and Peganum nigellastrum with the dormancy of 98%, 95% and 3%, respec- tively, at the beginning of burial (stored 6 months at 5 °C since harvested). Four burial depths were used: 0, 2, 5 and 10 cm. Important fin
