This report synthesizes all aspects of the taxonomy, distribution, history of introduction and
spread, ecological constrains (including preferred climate, substratum and habitats) …

Biological invasions represent one of the most important threats to biodiversity conservation
at a global scale. What makes a plant to be a successful invader is a question not completely …

Invasive alien species (IAS) are the subset of naturalized species that cause greater impacts
on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and services. However, despite management actions …

Plants with clonal growth can produce multiple potentially independent units, termed ramets.
Clonal growth can have important ecological and evolutionary consequences, such as by …

Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) plays an important role in mitigating climate
change and ameliorating soil degradation because of its high carbon sequestration capacity …

Premise Biological invasions and climate change are major threats to biodiversity. It is
therefore important to anticipate how the climate changes projected for Southern Europe …

Clonal plants can make up a disproportionately high number of the introduced, invasive
plant species in a region. Physiological integration of connected ramets within clones is a …

Invasion success of clonal plants is closely related to their unique clonal life history, and
clonal division of labor is a crucial clonal trait. However, so far, it is unclear whether invasive …

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 …

Photoprotective strategies vary greatly within the plant kingdom and reflect a plant's
physiological status and capacity to cope with environment variations. The plasticity and …
