Impact of light limitation on seagrasses
Seagrass distribution is controlled by light availability, especially at the deepest edge of the
meadow. Light attenuation due to both natural and anthropogenically-driven processes …

Clonality as a key but overlooked driver of biotic interactions in plants
Most plants are clonal ie able to laterally propagate by producing new genetically identical
ramets connected by specialized clonal organs. Clonality determines ramet aggregation …

From virtual plants to real communities: a review of modelling clonal growth
Clonal plants grow by the production of semi-autonomous modules (ramets), and form
complex branching structures which may provide communication/resource flow channels …

A microorganisms' journey between plant generations
Background Plants are colonized by a great diversity of microorganisms which form a
microbiota and perform additional functions for their host. This microbiota can thus be …

Fragmentation of clones: how does it influence dispersal and competitive ability?
We applied individual-based simulations to study the effect of physiological integration
among ramets in clonal species that live in patchy habitats. Three strategies were …

Plant traits respond to the competitive neighbourhood at different spatial and temporal scales
AK Bittebiere, C Mony - Annals of Botany, 2015 - academic.oup.com
Background and Aims Clonal plants can plastically modify their traits in response to
competition, but little is known regarding the spatio-temporal scale at which a competitive …
