#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.

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.

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.

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! 🇧🇷🌱

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!

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 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.

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

Plant belowgrund may be out of sight, but its is at the heart of exciting new ecology in @JEcology. Check our blog post ▶️ 1url.cz/Ge2Io

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.

‼️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 ‼️🌾

📢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
