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 …

Despite long‐time awareness of the importance of the location of buds in plant biology,
research on belowground bud banks has been scant. Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium …

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 …

Plant functional traits are the features (morphological, physiological, phenological) that
represent ecological strategies and determine how plants respond to environmental factors …

Drought is one of the most important environmental factor limiting the growth of woody and
non woody plants. In the present paper, we aimed to explore the performance of Maclura …

Resprouting as a response to disturbance is now widely recognized as a key functional trait
among woody plants and as the basis for the persistence niche. However, the underlying …

There are two broad mechanisms by which plant populations persist under recurrent
disturbances: resprouting from surviving tissues, and seedling recruitment. Species can …

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 …

Plants are multifaceted organisms that have evolved numerous solutions to the problem of
establishing, growing and reproducing with limited resources. The intrinsic dimensionality of …

Summary 1 An international group of scientists has built an open internet data base of life‐
history traits of the Northwest European flora (the LEDA‐Traitbase) that can be used as a …
