can increase the growth of individual plants, the productivity of plant communities and …

The capacity of small clonal fragments to survive and grow is a major factor in the spread of
clonal plants, especially aquatic species. This study of the introduced, invasive, amphibious …

The invasive clonal plant Wedelia trilobata contains higher levels of ent-kaurane diterpenes,

Background Alternanthera philoxeroides (alligator weed) is a highly invasive alien plant that
has continuously and successfully expanded from the tropical to the temperate regions of …

Disturbance can fragment plant clones into different sizes and unstabilize soils to different
degrees, so that clonal fragments of different sizes can be buried in soils at different depths …

Asexual propagules are the dominant means of propagation in most submerged
macrophytes. To improve the understanding of how water nutrient concentrations and …

The perennial stoloniferous herbaceous vine Mikania micrantha HBK is among the most
noxious exotic invaders in China and the world. Disturbance can fragment stolons of M …

Clonal plants in highly disturbed habitats are often broken into small fragments of various
