Background Species' life-history and population dynamics are strongly shaped by the
longevity of individuals, but life span is one of the least accessible demographic traits …

An increasing number of studies have shown that senescence, the functional decline in traits
and increased risk of mortality with increasing age, occurs in organisms in wild populations …

Age‐dependence of the demographic rates survival, fecundity and individual growth is a
fundamental aspect of population biological theory. Knowledge about plant ageing can also …

Abstract Himalayan peony (Paeonia emodi Royle) is a popular herbaceous plant known for
its medicinal and therapeutic potential in indigenous and traditional systems of medicine …

The question of whether or not perennial plants senesce at the organism level remains
unresolved. The aim of this study was to unravel whether or not plant age can influence the …

Herbicides are the primary method used to control exotic, invasive plants. This study
evaluated restoration efforts applied to grasslands dominated by an invasive plant, sulfur …

For herbaceous plants, in contrast to many higher animals but similarly to other modular and
sedentary life forms, it is not so much a question of how senescence progresses as it is a …

The relatively new field of herbaceous root chronology (“herb chronology”) uses the annual
rings of secondary xylem in roots of perennial forbs to analyze belowground secondary …

This study, for the first time, investigated the in vitro inhibitory effects of Potentilla recta
extracts and subfractions obtained with solvents of different polarity (aqueous, 50% ethanol …

Life history traits are used to predict asymptotic odds of extinction from dynamic conditions.
Less is known about how life history traits interact with stochasticity and population structure …
