Abstract
1) Oak woodlands in California intermingle with annual grasslands. They frequently have a grassy understorey, which has a distinct species composition and abundance unlike adjacent open communities. Soil blocks were reciprocally transplanted in autumn (at seed stage) between oak understorey and open grassland. Changes in species composition and species population densities were monitored over the following two years. 2 Species composition of adult plants in the reciprocally transplanted soil blocks resembled the original «donor» seed bank in the first spring after transplant, but in the second year it was not very different from the surrounding community in the «receptor» habitat
