In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Despite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology,
research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium …

Abstract The Pladias (Plant Diversity Analysis and Synthesis) Database of the Czech Flora
and Vegetation was developed by the Pladias project team in 2014–2018 and has been …

Background Below-ground bud banks have experienced much recent interest due to
discoveries that they (1) account for the majority of seasonal population renewal in many …

Motivation Trait data are fundamental to the quantitative description of plant form and
function. Although root traits capture key dimensions related to plant responses to changing …

In recent years, belowground plant ecology has experienced a booming interest. This has
resulted in major advances towards a greater understanding of belowground plant and …

Dominants are key species that shape ecosystem functioning. Plant dominance is typically
assessed on aboveground features. However, belowground, individual species may not …

Plant modularity traits relevant to functions of on-spot persistence, space occupancy,
resprouting after disturbance, as well as resource storage, sharing, and foraging have been …

Major dimensions of plant ecological strategies have been widely studied bringing forward
the concept of 'economic spectra'of plants. Sexual reproductive traits,'floral traits', have been …

Recent analyses of plant traits across large sets of species have revolutionized our
understanding of plant functional differentiation. However, understanding of ecological …
