A model describing the parameters of persistence and depletion within buried seed populations is presented. This model provides a conceptual framework for problems involving buried seed persistence and depletion which are often encountered in weed control and crop seed certification. Them model may also find use in studies where the ecology, physiology and genetics of buried seed persistence and depletion are being evaluated.
