Clonal plants play key roles in maintaining community productivity and stability in many
ecosystems. Connected individuals (ramets) of clonal plants can translocate and share, for …

This report synthesizes all aspects of the taxonomy, distribution, history of introduction and
spread, ecological constrains (including preferred climate, substratum and habitats) …

Biological invasions represent one of the most important threats to biodiversity conservation
at a global scale. What makes a plant to be a successful invader is a question not completely …

Beach litter is one of the most pervasive pollution issues in coastal environments worldwide.
In this study, we aim to assess the amount and distribution of beach litter on Porto Paglia …

Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as an important adaptive strategy for clonal plants
in heterogeneous habitats. Increased phenotypic plasticity can be especially beneficial for …

(1) Background: A central subject in clonal plant ecology is to elucidate the mechanism by
which clones forage resources in heterogeneous environments. Compared with studies …

Coastal dune ecosystems are highly threatened, and one of the strongest pressures is
invasive alien plants (IAPs). Mitigating the negative effects of IAPs requires development of …

The expansion of many wetland species is a function of both clonal propagation and sexual
reproduction. The production of ramets through clonal propagation enables plants to move …

Why some species become invasive while others do not is a central research request in
biological invasions. Clonality has been suggested as an attribute that could contribute to …

Physiological integration of connected ramets of clonal plants can increase clonal
performance when ramets grow in contrasting microenvironments within a habitat. In …
