Clonal plants are widespread throughout the plant kingdom and dominate in diverse
habitats. Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of environment is pervasive at multiple scales, even …

Clonal growth of plants is attained by a number of morphologically different organs (eg
stolons, rhizomes, and roots), which are not functionally equivalent. Consequently, these …

Clonal plants are able to support the growth of their ramets in stressful environments via
clonal integration between the ramets. However, it remains unclear whether the …

Most of the ecosystems are dominated by clonal species. The most unique feature of clonal
plants is their capability for clonal integration (translocation of vital resources among …

Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, spreading mainly by vegetative propagules.
Propagule pressure (the number of propagules) may affect the establishment, growth, and …

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are a representative class of emerging
contaminants. This study aimed to investigate the PPCP removal performance and …

Defoliation by herbivores commonly imposes negative effects on plants, and physiological
integration (resource sharing) can enhance the ability of guerilla clonal plants to tolerate …

Clonal integration can improve the spread and growth of invasive plants in response to
various disturbances. However, little is known about its role in floating aquatic clonal plants …

Clonal integration and fragmentation are potentially competing advantages of clonal growth.
Clonal fragmentation can increase the dispersal of ramets, but it prevents physiological …

Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, living in heterogeneous or homogeneous
habitats. To understand how clonal integration affects the performance of these plants in …
