#Clonal and non-clonal #herbs follow different life #strategies, but their early biomass #allocation is surprisingly similar. Even after #disturbance, plants became smaller rather than changing their above vs belowground allocation.

Srdečně zvu všechny, kteří se chcou dozvědět něco o rostlinných (a lidských) kořenech
Repeated #grazing can push #geophytes toward “bulb bankruptcy.” In Eucomis autumnalis, repeated #defoliation reduced #leaf growth, #bulb mass, and stored #starch, leaving less energy for future regrowth. #PlantScience #Grasslands #ExFuMo #GoBelowground

#GoBelowground! 2026 was about much more than #roots, #rhizomes, and #buds. Marina Reis reflects on a week of learning, #fieldwork, new #research ideas, and the conversations and connections that made the course unforgettable.

How do belowground organs #age and #decompose? In #Carex, decomposition depended more on the route to #senescence than on senescence status itself

What makes a garden grow? For the #Awajún, #cultivating #manioc is more than #planting and #harvesting. It is a relationship among people, plants, animals renewed through songs that call the garden into being

Does “Live Fast, Die Young” apply to ##plants beyond trees? Across more than 3,100 #herbaceous and small woody species, slow #growth was consistently associated with greater #longevity.

Some #plants are just made to be drawn (by Curtis Lubbe). Helianthus tuberosus produces wonderfully variable #stem #tuber, perfect for exploring the hidden #diversity of #belowground organs. #art #GoBelowground #ExFuMo #clonality

What makes #Triffid a plant and what makes it almost not a plant at all? In the third #Belowground post @Jitka_Klimesova dissects #morphology #movement #carnivory and #invasive potential of the most famous fictional plant 🪴

The 5th day of #GoBelowground was all about mini-projects #Buds #Storage #FineRoots #Clonality #Rhizome #Stolon #Traits #FunctionalTraits #PlantEcology
Explore, measure, interpret and turn belowground traits into ecological stories.

🚩Sometimes the history of #landscape is hidden belowground. #Growthrings and #radiocarbon dating show that Psidium grandifolium survived for decades beneath Pinus plantations, waiting to #resprout when conditions improved #GoBelowground #Cerrado #ExFuMo

In a new interview for the Roots and All podcast, we talk #rhizomes, #bulbs, #tubers, #roots, #plant movement, #ecological #strategies, and why looking belowground can change the way we see plant life. #PlantScience #Botany #GoBelowground #ExFuMo
