Based on long-term dynamics and recent in situ observations across three consecutive years, combined with soil seed samples and greenhouse controlled seedling-emergence methods, this study comprehensively analyzed the scale heterogeneity and spatial-temporal characteristics of seed banks under eutrophic and damaged ecosystems in Dabokou wetland, Lake Dianchi. Seventy-five soil cores were collected from sampling sites within the water area. The sites were systematically distributed using the line-transect method. Investigations were completed a total of 3 times from 2014 to 2016. Species-area relationships were then modeled for pattern detection using seed banks density and characteristics; variance/mean ratio (V/m); and Lloyd's index of mean crowding(m^*). Relationships between seed banks and extant vegetation were also evaluated using Sørensen similarity coefficient(SC). Results showed that the seed density increased significantly accounting for 27.24%. Across the three year period, the mean seed bank densities were:546.67 ind./m², 826 ind./m² and 1682 ind./m², respectively for 2014, 2015 and 2016. Additionally, seven species were detected from seed banks, and most of them were distributed in the deeper bottom sludge as compared to the topsoil(0-5 cm). Over the course of time, there were more and more seed banks dispersal and large-scale density amounting to a distribution frequency of 500 ind./m². The seed pattern of Potamogeton pectinatus L. was aggregated while other extant vegetation was evenly distributed as indicated by aforesaid indices of pattern detection. The mean Sørensen similarity coefficient of Dabokou wetland was 0.3628, a low value for a lake wetland and herbosa-ecosystem. Overall, the succession of aquatic plant communities occurred intensely at Lake Dianchi.
