Here that’s BS......
Seed loss due to decomposition and predation is higher in a no till situation.
Now, poor weed control can produce seeds faster than the critters can eat them though. If both systems have the same number of new seeds produced, no till is better. Now, if no till has worse weed control, that negates the gain from seed loss.
