Effects of heterogeneous competitor distribution and ramet aggregation on the growth and size structure of a clonal plant.
Spatially heterogeneous distribution of interspecific competitors and intraspecific aggregation of offspring ramets may affect the growth and size structure of clonal plant populations, but these have been rarely studied. We conducted a greenhouse experiment in which we grew a population of eight of...
