Abstract The life strategy of perennial herbs is dependent on coarse belowground organs, such as rhizomes, bulbs, tubers and storage roots, necessary for repeated seasonal regrowth often invaluable vegetative reproduction. Yet, the development these organs in early its links to dynamics aboveground parts generally unknown. To unravel ontogeny plants, we conducted a three‐year experimental study with 20 species differing by rhizome type. We confirmed that plant differ, partly driven phenological strategy, there are differences between organ types. costs constructions along morphological constraints occurring during may govern species' reproductive carbohydrate strategies. Synthesis : show fully understand strategies, plants need be studied integrated bodies consisting reciprocally influencing each other.

Forbs are important contributors to species diversity and ecosystem functions in low-latitude grasslands, where they support diverse herbivore communities millions of people. Native forb assemblages tolerate disturbances physiological stressors (fire, herbivory, drought, frost) that together have shaped their exceptional functional diversity. Yet, compared trees grasses, forbs received much less attention grassland studies until recently. Here, we review forb-centric literature illustrate land conversion responsible management fire herbivory crucial maintaining Management practices promoting offer (a) high-quality food items medicinal resources rural livelihoods animal (from wild ungulates livestock fossorial rodents insects), including adaptive foraging patterns, (b) carbon nutrient inputs regulate belowground processes. Improved understanding the above- regeneration strategies is critical for restoration conservation secure services future old-growth tropical subtropical grasslands.

Abstract Whilst transgenerational effects (TGE) of abiotic conditions are becoming generally accepted in plants, those biotic interactions remain largely unexplored. We therefore investigated the influence TGE due to arbuscular mycorrhiza, most widespread mutualistic interaction plants with microorganisms, on clonal and sexual offspring Fragaria vesca . hypothesized that ecological evolutionary significance will vary between based mycorrhizal status phosphorus (P) availability experienced by parent. In a two‐generation greenhouse experiment, parental were exposed full‐factorial combinations high or low P availability. mycorrhiza establishment plant performance evaluated their offspring, which all non‐parental environments. Consistently both generations, improved growth at availability, but had no even negative effect concomitantly decreased root colonization (AM) fungus. was stronger sexually derived formation growth. adaptive if offspring's disadvantage: for growing non‐mycorrhizal Synthesis : Our results suggest reproduction under different pressures, leading development mechanisms response symbiosis latter. The complexity observed highlights need disentangling contributing reproduction. study underlines importance considering reproductive strategies interplay environmental factors understanding dynamics plant–symbiotic interactions.
