“…Clonal mobility of plant species may have important consequences for species coexistence (Gough et al 2001;Svensson et al 2005). Theoretical studies have argued that when space itself is a resource, trade-oVs in the ability of species to compete for resources in a patch and colonise empty patches may enhance coexistence (Amarasekare 2003;Chase 2005).…”

“…Clumping of ramets has been shown to reduce competitive ability under certain environmental conditions (Lenssen et al 2005), but this likely depends on the growth form of the competitors (Cheplick 1997) and thus is neighborhood dependent. Manipulative garden or pot experiments that have explicitly focused on competition between clonal growth forms are rarely repeated in the Weld (Callaghan et al 1992;Gough et al 2002), thus extrapolating to natural conditions remains diYcult.…”

“…In many systems, species with a clonal growth form (with spreading architecture) appear to respond most positively to nutrient addition (Tilman 1987;Knops and Reinhart 2000;Shaver et al 2001;Baer et al 2004;Reynolds et al 2007;Honsová et al 2007;Eilts et al 2011). While sometimes including potentially correlated traits, e.g., lateral spread , community-level studies rarely focus on clonal growth form directly (but see Sammul et al 2003;Honsová et al 2007;Eilts et al 2011), despite evidence that clonal traits likely aVect interactions between individual plants and thus community structure (Herben and Hara 1997;Gough et al 2002;Zobel et al 2010). Understanding the role of clonality in community responses to nutrient addition is important given that clonal species often respond signiWcantly to this perturbation.…”

“…Old stems may die and new ones may grow from the ground to replace them. New stems too deeply shaded to produce much photosynthetic energy themselves may receive an energy subsidy from taller stems nearby via translocation through the root system (Gough et al 2002). It is through such subsidized growth of new stems that our hypothetical clones are able to maintain a fixed vertical leaf distribution through all time.…”
