Estuaries are dynamic and selective environments that provide frequent opportunities for the
turnover of Phragmites australis populations. We studied Phragmites genetic diversity …

Estuarine wetlands are highly heterogeneous due to strong interactions between freshwater
input and seawater intrusion. However, little is known about how clonal plant populations …

Abstract Backgound and Aims Extending the cultivation of forage legume species into
