Clonal integration enhances the performance of a clonal plant species under soil alkalinity stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Clonal plants have been shown to successfully survive in stressful environments, including salinity stress, drought and depleted nutrients through clonal integration between original and subsequent ramets.

Roles of clonal integration in both heterogeneous and homogeneous habitats [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Many studies have shown that clonal integration can promote the performance of clonal plants in heterogeneous habitats, but the roles of clonal integration in both heterogeneous and homogeneous habitats were rarely studied simultaneously.

Plant clonal integration mediates the horizontal redistribution of soil resources, benefiting neighbouring plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Resources such as water taken up by plants can be released into soils through hydraulic redistribution and can also be translocated by clonal integration within a plant clonal network.

Ecological Consequences of Clonal Integration in Plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Clonal plants are widespread throughout the plant kingdom and dominate in diverse habitats. Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of environment is pervasive at multiple scales, even at scales relevant to individual plants.

An invasive clonal plant benefits from clonal integration more than a co-occurring native plant in nutrient-patchy and competitive environments. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, however, little is known about the different roles of clonal integration effects between invasive and native plants.

Clonal Integration and Root Morphological Plasticity of Indocalamus latifolius Under Heterogeneous Phosphorus Environments [PDF]
PlantsOwing to clonal integration and morphological plasticity, clonal plants generally exhibit higher fitness in nutrient-heterogeneous environments. Indocalamus latifolius (Keng) McClure is a clonal plant with considerable economic value in China.

Effects of clonal integration on microbial community composition and processes in the rhizosphere of the stoloniferous herb Glechoma longituba (Nakai) Kuprian. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The effects of rhizodeposition on soil C and N availabilities lead to substantial changes of microbial community composition and processes in the rhizosphere of plants.

Clonal integration of Fragaria orientalis in reciprocal and coincident patchiness resources: cost-benefit analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Clonal growth allows plants to spread horizontally and to experience different levels of resources. If ramets remain physiologically integrated, clonal plants can reciprocally translocate resources between ramets in heterogeneous environments. But little

Propagule pressure, habitat conditions and clonal integration influence the establishment and growth of an invasive clonal plant, Alternanthera philoxeroides [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Many notorious invasive plants are clonal, spreading mainly by vegetative propagules. Propagule pressure (the number of propagules) may affect the establishment, growth and thus invasion success of these clonal plants, and such effects may also depend on
