#Clonality may be great for #persistence, but does it come at an #evolutionary #cost? Lineages relying strongly on clonality tend to #diversify more slowly than those reproducing mainly by #seeds. ▶️1url.cz/HeVgD #GoBelowground #ExFuMo #evolution #ramet

Read #fairytail which begins on the #muddy bottom of a drained #pond, where long-buried #seeds #germinate and reveal very different #plant strategies - from fast seed #production to #investment in #storage #roots and #rhizomes. ▶️1url.cz/Ce3T4 #GoBelowground #ExFuMo

How much do we really know about #rhizomes? In the second #Belowground #Book Club post, @Jitka_Klimesova presents Rhizomes by H. Krämer and L. Hesse, highlighting its remarkable hidden #diversity of these underground #stems. ▶️1url.cz/beR9o #ExFuMo #GoBelowground

Our #GoBelowground #course last week in #Brazil was a fantastic experience! Inspiring students, great discussions, and a wonderful chance to share the hidden half of plants with a new community. Thank you to everyone who made it so special! 🇧🇷🌱 #ExFuMo #Clonality #Morphology

Do older and younger #roots tell different stories? In #rhizomatous #plants, fine-root #traits do shift with #root age, but not enough to strongly bias species-level estimates. Good news for root ecologists! More: ▶️1url.cz/VeFT4 #ExFuMo #GoBelowground #clonal #rhizome

How does a global #weed decide between #seeds and tubers? In #Cyperus esculentus #reproduction depends on #plant size, with low-resources shifting investment toward underground #tubers that secure #persistence and #regrowth. #GoBelowground #ExFuMo more ▶️ 1url.cz/zeGzI

#GoBelowground is going international again! 🇧🇷 This time we go to Brazil. Functional morphology course Go Belowground! will bring students together to explore storage organs, clonal plants, and the hidden half of plant life. #ExFuMo #clonality #belowground #functional #ecology

Ramets of #clonal #plants do not #forage #belowground isolated. Under #competition one ramet can alter #root foraging in another through physiological integration, making root foraging a coordinated #strategy across the whole plant ▶️1url.cz/HeEH7 #GoBelowground #ExFuMo

What if #belowground organs had personalities? ▶️1url.cz/ueHMb This post turns the hidden #diversity of #roots and #storage organs into a playful character study, inspired by the remarkable forms #plants take beneath the #soil. #ExFuMo #GoBelowground #artㅤㅤㅤㅤ

‼️What if #grasslands are storing far more #carbon than we think? #Subtropical grasslands shows that most #biomass lies #belowground - global models may be seriously underestimating their #carbonstorage potential ‼️🌾 Our blog▶️1url.cz/Heobp #ExFuMo #GoBelowground

📢What can #root #architecture tell us about fine roots? Quite a lot! The structure of the whole root system helps explain variation in fine-root traits and these links differ between #taprooted and #adventitious rooted plants. ▶️1url.cz/rewe0 #ExFuMo #GoBelowground
