Clonal plants grow by the production of semi-autonomous modules (ramets), and form
complex branching structures which may provide communication/resource flow channels …

Hydrological connectivity in coastal deltas is important for delivering flow, sediment, and
nutrients to the island interiors. The roughness of island vegetation limits connectivity, but …

Abstract Background and Aims Both regional and local plant abundances are driven by
species' dispersal capacities and their abilities to exploit new habitats and persist there …

Aim (i) To determine whether area and connectivity of temporary ponds can predict plant
species diversity, and the diversity and abundance of different plant life histories;(ii) To …

The replacement of forest areas with human-dominated landscapes usually leads to
fragmentation, altering the structure and function of the forest. Here we studied the dynamics …

Margins of the geographic distributions of species are important regions in terms of
ecological and evolutionary processes, including the species' response to climate change …

A change in the environmental conditions across space—for example, altitude or latitude—
can cause significant changes in the density of a vegetation type and, consequently, in …

Climate change causes considerable shifts in the geographic distribution of species
worldwide. Most data on range movements, however, derive from relatively short periods …

Abstract Background and Aims This study considers the spatial structure of patchy habitats
from the perspective of plants that forage for resources by clonal growth. Modelling is used …

Several experiments have demonstrated that plants can adjust their growth pattern to the
pattern of resources in the environment, and thus, forage for resources by adaptive plasticity …
