Invasive alien aquatic plant species (IAAPs) cause serious ecological and economic impact
and are a major driver of changes in aquatic plant communities. Their invasive success is …

Contamination of soils by microplastics can have profound ecological impacts on terrestrial
ecosystems and has received increasing attention. However, few studies have considered …

Clonal plants are able to support the growth of their ramets in stressful environments via
clonal integration between the ramets. However, it remains unclear whether the …

Invasive species are a major threat to biodiversity, human health, and economies worldwide.
Clonal growth is a common ability of most invasive plants. The clonal common milkweed …

Many of the world's most invasive plants are clonal, and clonal functional traits are
suggested to contribute to their invasiveness. Clonal integration is one of the most important …

Clonal integration can improve the spread and growth of invasive plants in response to
various disturbances. However, little is known about its role in floating aquatic clonal plants …

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

Clonal traits can contribute to plant invasiveness, but little is known about the roles of
division of labor (a key clonal trait) in homogeneous habitats. The hypothesis tested is that …

Clonal fragmentation (CF), caused by various disturbances, significantly affects the growth
performance of plants. However, little is known about how CF affects the growth of …

Clonal plants may face various types of resource heterogeneity in their natural habitats; as
such, spatial or temporal resource heterogeneity can affect the growth of clonal plants …
