How perennial are perennial plants?
Oikos, 2002Trade‐offs involving life span are important in the molding of plant life histories. However, the empirical examination of such patterns has so far been limited by the fact that information on life span is mainly available in terms of discrete categories; annuals, semelparous perennials and iteroparous perennials.

Plant dormancy in the perennial context
Trends in Plant Science, 2007A key feature of the perennial life style in plants is the ability to cease meristem activity and to establish a dormant state in which the meristem is rendered insensitive to growth-promoting signals for some time before it is released and can resume growth.

Does a decade of elevated [CO2] affect a desert perennial plant community?
New Phytologist, 2014Understanding the effects of elevated [CO2 ] on plant community structure is crucial to predicting ecosystem responses to global change. Early predictions suggested that productivity in deserts would increase via enhanced water-use efficiency under ...

Coexistence of perennial plants: an embarrassment of niches
Ecology Letters, 2010Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 1019–1029AbstractDespite decades of research documenting niche differences between species, we lack a quantitative understanding of their effect on coexistence in natural communities. We perturbed an empirical sagebrush steppe community model to remove the demographic effect of niche differences and quantify their impact on ...

Riparian plant guilds of ephemeral, intermittent and perennial rivers
, 2016Plant functional types (or guilds) increasingly are being used to predict vegetation response to global changes. Continued human population growth coupled with projected warmer and drier climate will alter the hydrologic regimes of many arid‐zone rivers,

Population size affects vital rates but not population growth rate of a perennial plant.
Ecology, 2010Negative effects of habitat fragmentation on individual performance have been widely documented, but relatively little is known about how simultaneous effects on multiple vital rates translate into effects on population viability in long-lived species ...
