Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrition controlling plant functioning and
ecological stability, which is predicted to increase rapidly in the future. Despite numerous …

(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 …

Over the last few decades, rainfall has become more variable, with a worldwide increase in
the frequency of extreme precipitation events. While increases in rainfall variability are …

Premise Biological invasions and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. It is
therefore important to anticipate how the climate changes projected for Southern Europe …

Abstract Background and Aims Understanding biomass allocation among plant organs is
crucial for comprehending plant growth optimization, survival and responses to the drivers of …

Resource sharing among connected ramets (ie clonal integration) is one of the distinct traits
of clonal plants. Clonal integration confers Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) a …

Despite the recent discoveries on how DNA methylation could help plants to adapt to
changing environments, the relationship between epigenetics and climate change or …

Introduction Propagule pressure (ie, the number of propagules) has long been recognized to
play an essential role in plant invasion. But it is not clear whether propagule pressure …

Abstract The genus Carpobrotus NE Br. comprises several aggressive invasive species that
threaten biodiversity in coastal areas worldwide. We studied the phenotypic plasticity of …

Two key hypotheses in invasion biology are that certain traits underlie invasiveness in
introduced species, and that these traits are selected for during or after introduction. We …
