Many ecosystems are dominated by clonal plants. Among the most distinctive characteristics
of clonal plants is their potential for clonal integration (ie the translocation of resources …

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 …

Phenotypic plasticity has been proposed as an important adaptive strategy for clonal plants
in heterogeneous habitats. Increased phenotypic plasticity can be especially beneficial for …

Physiological integration between connected ramets can increase the performance of clonal
plants when ramets experience contrasting levels of resource availabilities in …

Connected ramets of aquatic clonal plants are susceptible to fragmentation by disturbance.
Such clonal fragmentation may interact with nutrient availability and individual density to …

Abstract Background and Aims Fine-scale, spatial heterogeneity in soil nutrient availability
can increase the growth of individual plants, the productivity of plant communities and …

揭示影响外来植物入侵性的功能性状及其生态机制是入侵植物生态学的核心任务之一.
本文综述了植物功能性状与外来植物入侵性的研究进展, 通过分析植物功能性状对外来植物入侵 …

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 …

Epigenetic variation may play an important role in how plants cope with novel environments.
While significant epigenetic differences among plants from contrasting habitats have often …

Soil resource heterogeneity can affect plant growth and competitive ability. However, little is
known about how soil resource heterogeneity affects competitive interactions between …
