| differential influence of clonal integration on morphological and growth responses to light in two invasive herbs. | in contrast to seeds, high sensitivity of vegetative fragments to unfavourable environments may limit the expansion of clonal invasive plants. however, clonal integration promotes the establishment of propagules in less suitable habitats and may facilitate the expansion of clonal invaders into intact native communities. here, we examine the influence of clonal integration on the morphology and growth of ramets in two invasive plants, alternanthera philoxeroides and phyla canescens, under varying ... | 2012 | 22558248 |
