Invasive alien aquatic plant species (IAAPs) cause serious ecological and economic impact
and are a major driver of changes in aquatic plant communities. Their invasive success is …

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 …

Connected ramets of aquatic clonal plants are susceptible to fragmentation by disturbance.
Such clonal fragmentation may interact with nutrient availability and individual density to …

The invasive aquatic plant Pontederia crassipes (water hyacinth) presents significant
ecological and economic challenges worldwide due to its rapid proliferation and dominance …

Plants with clonal growth may suffer from great fragmentation risk due to frequent
disturbance. Meanwhile, storage capacity of clonal organs (stolon or rhizome) is important …

Aims Many wetlands are polluted with both nutrients and toxic metals and vegetated largely
by clonal plants. We hypothesized that eutrophication and clonal integration can increase …

Clonal integration often increases fitness of clonal plants, but it may decrease it when some
but not all connected plants (ramets) within a clone are parasitized. This hypothesis was …

Groups of connected ramets produced by clonal growth in plants are particularly susceptible
to fragmentation in aquatic ecosystems. Both clonal fragment size and nutrient availability …

Different sizes of clonal fragments contain various number of ramets with different spacer
lengths, which strongly affects the redistribution of photosynthetic assimilates. Although …

Herbicide wastes from agriculture areas can contaminate water resources and affect non-
target organisms. Since herbicides reach groundwater and rivers, these residues can …
