♾️The #AdaptiveStrategies of the clonal plant in #HeterogeneousSaltHabitats
Objects: #PhragmitesAustralis & #SuaedaSalsa
Results:
1️⃣ Competition inhibited the growth, photosynthesis and ion content accumulation of P. australis.
2️⃣ Clonal integration promoted root growth, especially under heterogeneous salt conditions.

To explore the #AdaptiveStrategies of the clonal plant #PhragmitesAustralis in #HeterogeneousSaltHabitats, Bo Guan et al. conducted a #PotControlExperiment using P. australis and #SuaedaSalsa from the #YellowRiverDelta, assessed the effects of #SaltHeterogeneity, #ClonalIntegration and #InterspecificCompetition on the morphological and physiological traits of P. australis.
