The plant‐associated microbial community (microbiome) has an important role in plant–
plant communications. Plants decipher their complex habitat situations by sensing the …

What confers invasive alien plants a competitive advantage over native plants remains open
to debate. Many of the world's worst invasive alien plants are clonal and able to share …

Heterogeneity is widespread in natural environments; as a result, connected clonal ramets
often live in areas characterized by patches of different resources. Specifically, clonal plants …

Sewage sludge-based fertilization could be the most effective way to mitigate the negative
effects of water stress on wheat yield in arid and semi-arid regions. The study examines …

Plants have evolved a variety of defense traits against foliar herbivory, including the
production of primary and secondary metabolites, the allocation of chemical compounds …

Few studies have explored how–within the same system–clonality and positive plant–plant
interactions might interact to regulate plant community composition. Canopy‐dwelling …

Background and aims Clonal integration between ramets under heterogeneous
environment has crucial implications for the clonal plants, is widely distribute in the arid …

Physiological integration of connected ramets of clonal plants can increase clonal
performance when ramets grow in contrasting microenvironments within a habitat. In …

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

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) forest plays an irreplaceable and significant effect
on carbon sequestration and the adaptation of forestry to climate change in South China …
