Despite the disproportionate influence that propagule production, dispersal, seed‐to‐
seedling recruitment and vegetative reproduction can have on plant population and …

Most plants are clonal ie able to laterally propagate by producing new genetically identical
ramets connected by specialized clonal organs. Clonality determines ramet aggregation …

Questions To what extent is trait variation in grasses and forbs driven by land‐use intensity,
climate, soil conditions and plant diversity of the local neighbourhood? Do grass and forb …

Trait intraspecific variability determines community dynamics and species coexistence. In
response to competition, plants can display intraspecific variability to enhance their …

Investigating how climate change alters selection regimes is a crucial step toward
understanding the potential of populations to evolve in the face of changing conditions …

Due to the importance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in ecosystem productivity, a key
ecological question is how do their communities assemble? As plant spatial patterns …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Physiological integration between connected ramets is well
known to increase performance of clonal plant species. However, no direct evidence …

Aims Competitive interactions are a determinant driver of plant community structure in
temperate grasslands. In such dense vegetation cover, competition mostly occurs over free …

Plant litter decomposition is a key regulator of nutrient recycling. In a given environment,
decomposition of litter from a focal species depends on its litter quality and on the efficiency …

In the sub-Antarctic region, climate change is particularly rapid, while their freshwater
ecosystems, such as ponds, host plant species with limited spatial distributions. These …
