   Abstract : About 70% of the plant species in the temperate zone are characterised by clonal growth, clonal species are also in majority in the Arctic and Subarctic where they affect the structure and composition of the vegetation. It is therefore of great importance to increase our knowledge about clonal plants and their growth and life histories. READ MORE

4. 2. Plant Inducible Responses to Damage: Evolution and Ecological Implications

   Author : Johannes Järemo; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; herbivory; inducible defences; compensation; Ecology; Ekologi;

   Abstract : Abstract Inducible plant responses to damage, i.e. inducible defence responses and compensatory growth responses, are theoretically examined in an evolutionary and ecological context. Inducible defences are generally considered to be beneficial under conditions of low risk of herbivory and when initial damage is moderate. READ MORE
