Global warming disrupts the relative allocation between sexual and clonal reproduction in a common salt marsh plant

May 9, 2025

Renping Jiang, Wenwen Liu, Steven C. PenningsEcologyhttps://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.70101Published: 08 May 2025AbstractAdjusting relative allocation between sexual and clonal reproduction is part of how plants respond to a variable environment, but we know little about how the allocation strategies of plant populations vary over time as abiotic conditions change. We studied correlations between sexual ...
