In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …

Background Below-ground bud banks have experienced much recent interest due to
discoveries that they (1) account for the majority of seasonal population renewal in many …

Abstract The Pladias (Plant Diversity Analysis and Synthesis) Database of the Czech Flora
and Vegetation was developed by the Pladias project team in 2014–2018 and has been …

In recent years, belowground plant ecology has experienced a booming interest. This has
resulted in major advances towards a greater understanding of belowground plant and …

By mainly focusing on leaves and roots, functional ecology has been omitting an important
dimension of plant form and function. Horizontal spacers (rooting stems and roots with …

Abstract Background and Aims Root sprouting (RS), ie the ability to form adventitious buds
on roots, is an important form of clonal growth in a number of species, and serves as both a …

We address the neglected issue of ecological and evolutionary significance of root sprouting
(RS) in plants. RS has been considered a sort of morphological curiosity. However, existing …

The lack of information on plant traits limits our understanding of how plant species and
communities will respond to ongoing global changes. The biodiversity-rich Anatolian …

Root sprouting (RS) species can regenerate from even small root fragments. The root buds
are usually well protected against disturbance because they are deep in the soil, and injury …

The predominance of short-lived species in disturbed habitats supports the view that
generative regeneration is an advantageous strategy under these conditions. However …
