Abstract:
Plant biomass is the most fundamental component of ecosystems. The spatial stability of plant biomass is important, and the mechanisms regulating plant biomass spatial variability in variable environments are a central focus of ecology. However, they have rarely been explored. We conducted an experiment to test how diversity and functional traits affected variation in biomass and community response to nutrient availability in three plant communities: natural; forb, legume, and bunchgrass; and rhizomatous grass. We found that biomass stability rarely changed with increasing taxonomic species richness and functional group richness but declined with increasing Shannon–Weiner indices (the combination of richness and evenness) and functional trait diversity. However, differences in plant species composition generated different responses in both the amount and spatial variation of biomass following nutrient addition. Because rhizomatous grasses are weakly competitive in nutrient-poor conditions, interaction between resource-acquisitive (grass) and stress-tolerant (forb) species in the natural community conferred the greatest overall stability. The rapid nutrient acquisition ability of the rhizomatous grass Leymus chinensis was stimulated in nutrient-abundant conditions. The functional traits of this dominant species overrode the diversity interaction effects of the natural and forb, legume, and bunchgrass communities. This ultimately resulted in the rhizomatous grass community being the most stable. Community stability was strongly determined by a few key species, particularly rhizomatous grasses, rather than by the average response of all species, thereby supporting the mass ratio hypothesis. Our results indicated that rhizomatous grasses could provide vegetative productivity to reduce soil loss and prevent degradation of L. chinensis-dominant grassland. Thus, protecting specific species is critical for maintaining rangeland ecosystem functions. Moreover, the conservation importance of grasses, non-leguminous forbs, legumes, or even rare species could not be ignored. Maintaining stability mechanisms in natural grasslands is complex, and therefore, further studies need to focus on finding a unified mechanism that can regulate appreciable biomass variation under shifting environmental conditions.

Abstract:
Rhizomatous growth and associated physiological integration can allow a clonal dune species to potentially compensate for the selective removal of leaves associated with herbivory. Hydrocotyle bonariensis is a rhizomatous clonal plant species that is abundant in the coastal dune environments of the southeastern United States that are inhabited by large feral horse populations. H. bonariensis has been shown to integrate resources among ramets within extensive clones as an adaptation to resource heterogeneity in sandy soils. In this study, we hypothesized that clonal integration is a mechanism that promotes H. bonariensis persistence in these communities, despite high levels of herbivory by feral horses. In a field experiment, we used exclosures to test for herbivory in H. bonariensis over a four-month period. We found that feral horses utilized H. bonariensis as a food species, and that while grazing will suppress clonal biomass, H. bonariensis is able to maintain populations in a high grazing regime with and without competition present. We then conducted an experiment in which portions of H. bonariensis clones were clipped to simulate different levels of grazing. Half of the clones were severed to eliminate the possibility of integration. We found that after 12 weeks, the mean number of leaves and ramets increased as the grazing level increased, for integrated clones. Integrated clones had significantly increased biomass production compared to the severed equivalents. Our research suggests that rhizomatous growth and physiological integration are traits that allow clonal plant species to maintain populations and to tolerate grazing in coastal dune environments.

Abstract:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has used hydroseeding, imprinting, and drill seeding methods to revegetate highway construction sites, with varying degrees of success. Ecological concerns, particularly in areas with high erosion potential, have led Caltrans to search for more-reliable plant establishment methods. One possibility is native sod, which should reduce erosion potential, and, the species would also be better suited to local environments, require less maintenance, and pose no invasive threat to adjacent ecosystems. In addition, the use of native sod may also reduce or prevent weed establishment. Our project aims to evaluate different native grass species mixes to determine the best species combinations for sod. We selected 21 species of native grasses in order to determine their suitability for sod production in six Californian ecoregions. Grasses were grown in six growth chambers that mimic the climate of the six ecoregions. Mixtures of varying species included either one rhizomatous species with three bunch grasses, one rhizomatous species and five bunch grasses, two rhizomatous species with three bunch grasses, or two rhizomatous species with five bunch grasses for each ecoregion. The mixtures were grown and tested for yield, species composition, and percentage of cover over time. At the end of the 6-month production time, a final harvest evaluated root depth and biomass as well as sod strength. Rhizomatous grasses, if planted with Bromus sp., were quickly overwhelmed. At the first harvest ground coverage was between 10% and 15% for all species mixes. Ground coverage increased over the production cycle, but maximum ground coverage remained less than 80% overall.

Abstract:
Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.) accessions G 31276 and G 31272 exhibit rhizomatous growth and were collected from alkaline soils (pH 8.0–8.5). Nothing is known about the adaptation of rhizomatous birdsfoot trefoil to more acid soil. Our objective was to determine the effects of soil pH on plant growth and mineral concentration of rhizomatous and domestic non-rhizomatous birdsfoot trefoil. Three entries, Norcen AU Dewey, and RBRC (a bulked reciprocal cross of G 31276 and G 31272), were grown at soil pH levels of 5.0, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 in a glasshouse. Dry-matter (DM) production and concentrations of Al, Ca, K, P, Mg, Mn and Zn in tissues were determined. No significant entry × soil pH interaction was found for either DM accumulation or mineral concentration, indicating the RBRC responded to acidic soil pH like the domestic entries Across entries, total DM was lower at soil pH 5.0 than at a higher pH. Concentration of Al and Zn in leaves and stems was greatest at soil pH 5.0 and declined with increasing PH. Calcium concentration in leaves and stems was highest at soil pH 8.0. Magneisum concentration was not affected by soil pH. Phosphorus concentration in leaves was lowest at soil pH 5.0 and tended to increase with increasing pH, whereas P concentration in stems was highest at pH 5.0 and not significantly different at pH 6 0 7 0 or 8 0. Leaf K concentration was not affected by soil pH, but K concentration in stems was highest at pH 5 0. Manganese concentrations in leaves and stems followed an irregular pattern. Similar responses to soil pH among entries suggest that birdsfoot trefoil populations derived from accessions G 31276 and G 31272 will not likely be limited by soil pH.

Abstract:
Evaluating key traits of male sterile mutant accessions in rhizomatous alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is crucial for selecting plants for artificial hybrid breeding of rhizomatous maternal lines. In this study, branch cuttings from four male sterile mutant accessions of ‘Qingshui’ alfalfa were used as experimental samples. We evaluated phenotypic traits, which included pollen viability and stigma receptivity, as well as nutritional quality, using difference analysis, correlation analysis, and principal component analysis. Prioritizing pollen viability and stigma receptivity, while considering phenotypic traits and nutritional quality as supplementary factors, allowed us to comprehensively evaluate 24 rhizomatous alfalfa individuals. This evaluation led to the identification of four male sterile mutant accessions with superior traits. The pollen from accession 4-4 was found to be partially fertile, whereas the remaining 23 alfalfa individuals were entirely male sterile. All 24 individuals exhibited stigma receptivity levels suitable for effective pollination. Principal component analysis revealed that among the assessed traits, the leaf–stem ratio contributed most significantly, followed by crude protein content, while neutral detergent fiber content had the least impact on overall quality. Additionally, the number of branches showed a strong positive correlation with individual plant yield (p < 0.01). No significant correlations were detected among plant height, stem diameter, forage grading index, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber content, and yield. Overall, our comprehensive evaluation suggests that accessions 1-2, 2-2, 3-1, and 4-3 are most suitable for use as parental lines in artificial hybrid breeding.

Abstract:
Rhizome fragmentation and sand burial are common phenomena in rhizomatous clonal plants. These traits serve as an adaptive strategy for survival in stressful environments. Thus far, some studies have been carried out on the effects of rhizome fragmentation and sand burial, but how the interaction between rhizome fragmentation and sand burial affects the growth and reproduction of rhizomatous clonal plants is unclear. We investigated the effect of the burial depth and rhizome fragment size on the survival and growth of the rhizomatous herb Phragmites communis using 288 clonal fragments (6 burial depths × 8 clonal fragment sizes × 6 replicates) in a field rhizome severing experiment. The ramet survival of the rhizomatous species significantly increased with the sand burial depth and clonal fragment size (p < 0.01), and the effects of the clonal fragment size on ramet survival depended on the sand burial depth. Sand burial enhanced both the vertical and horizontal biomass (p < 0.05), while the clonal fragment size affected the vertical biomass rather than the horizontal biomass. Sand burial facilitated the vertical growth of ramets (p < 0.05) while the number of newly produced ramets firstly increased and then decreased with the increasing clonal fragment size, and the maximal value appeared in four clonal fragments under a heavy sand burial depth. There is an interaction between the burial depth and rhizome fragment size in the growth of rhizome herbaceous plants. The population growth increases in the increase of sand burial depth, and reaches the maximum under severe sand burial and moderate rhizome fragmentation.

Abstract:
On the territory of the Otradnoye research and experimental station (Leningrad Region, Russia), the changes in the species composition and spectrum of biomorphs of meadow vegetation were studied which occurred over a 60-year postagrogenic period: from the termination of intensive meadow farming in 1955–1960 to 2018–2022. A relative stability of the spectrum of life forms along with a significant long-term species variability of communities over the considered time period is shown. After 60 years, in the last 20 of which the economic use of the preserved meadow areas was terminated, there has been an increase in the species richness of the communities due to an increase in the number of long-rhizomatous species. Turf grasses and sedges show a relative stability of participation. The initial stages of overgrowing the meadow with forest are characterized by the appearance of dwarf shrubs, shrubs and trees. At the trend level, the dominance of perennial summergreen herbs has increased and the role of thin-long-rhizomatous plants has increased. At the first stage of overgrowing the meadows with forest vegetation, an increase in the participation of annual and perennial summergreen herbs was noted.

Abstract:
The selection of non-food crops for bioenergy production in limiting environments is a priority for energy security and climate change mitigation. Therefore, more studies are needed on the interactions between species and environmental factors in specific sites which allows their selection for biomass production. The objective of this work is to study the impact of drought on the morpho-physiological parameters of perennial rhizomatous grasses Panicum virgatum L., Miscanthus × giganteus, and Arundo donax L. in the Mediterranean environment. Plants were grown on field and trials were carried out under support-irrigation and rainfed conditions during two consecutive years. Morpho-physiological parameters were measured in May, June and August, and dry biomass at the end of the experiment. Under rainfed conditions, A. donax presented the highest photosynthesis rate (25, 15 and 10 CO2 m−2 s−1), relative water content (85–90%), and dry biomass (~4500 g plant−1) compared with P. virgatum (20, 5 and 5 CO2 m−2 s−1, 65–85% RWC and ~1400 g plant−1) and Miscanthus (18, 4 and 0 CO2 m−2 s−1, 80–10% RWC and ~260 g plant−1). It is concluded that A. donax would be the best perennial rhizomatous grass to be used as bioenergy crop under Mediterranean conditions.

Abstract:
Biomass, tiller numbers, flowering, and genet survival were accessed for the rhizomatous Elymus lanceolatus ssp. lanceolatus and caespitose E. l. ssp. wawawaiensis growing in mixtures with a range of densities of each taxon. Models of aboveground biomass of each taxon as a function of mixed densities were used to calculate competition indices. Tiller numbers and biomass of ssp. lanceolatus were higher than those of the caespitose taxon in the first year, but declined in the second year, while biomass and tiller numbers of ssp. wawawaiensis changed little. All tillers of ssp. wawawaiensis emerged in autumn; tillers of ssp. lanceolatus emerged from autumn through late spring. The rhizomatous taxon better exploited open resources in the first year; ssp. wawawaiensishad slower growth, but its production of many tillers early in the season may allow it to quickly exploit seasonally variable conditions of semiarid environments. Decline in flowering at higher densities and in the second year was more pronounced than that of biomass and tiller numbers. Genet survival was high and similar for both taxa. Substitution rates indicated ssp. lanceolatus was the better competitor in both years. In the second year, the two taxa differed somewhat less in substitution rates. A greater overlap in resources used by the two taxa was indicated. Subspecies lanceolatus experienced greater intensity of competition. Substitution rates and relative efficiency index indicated ssp. lanceolatus was the greater competitor between early and late spring, when overlap in resource use was greater. Another experiment addressed advantages of clonal foraging of ssp. lanceolatus in exploiting soil nutrient patches. A foraging response was found in the rhizomatous taxon, with greater numbers of closely spaced tillers in high-nutrient patches adjacent to the main clone, but root biomass in these patches, and aboveground biomass of the clones, indicated that both taxa accessed nutrients in the patches, but ssp. wawawaiens is used only root growth. The taxa were similar in their tolerance of low levels of soil nutrients. No difference among genets in degree of foraging response, and no relationship between degree of foraging response and fitness when nutrients are patchy were found. Subspecies lanceolatus did not show such a foraging response to high neighbor densities in mixed-density plots. Instead, rhizome lengths were reduced by higher neighbor densities and in the second year, by reduced resources overall.

Abstract:
Abstract Many species of plant, such as strawberries, bracken, elms, and 22 per cent of the British Flora (Table 3.1) grow by means of clonal growth so that the plant gradually spreads over the ground. Stoloniferous and rhizomatous species are particularly frequent in wet habitats (Table 3.1) perhaps because the open mud exposed during the summer is suitable for rapid colonization. The pattern of the spread is analogous to the search path of a foraging animal (Grime 1979). Just as an animal moves to exploit fresh resources a plant grows to use unexploited nutrients, water or light. However, unlike most animals, plants often leave a record of their pattern of movement.

Abstract The flies of the genus Lipara are strict monophagous parasites of the common reed, Phragmites australis (Poaceae). Due to feeding activities and/or metabolic products, the newly formed internodes of the shoot are significantly shortened and a typical cigar-or spike-like gall is formed at the top of the shoot. Reed is a perennial rhizomatous grass that produces fresh shoots every year during spring. Because the shoots dry up and die at the end of the summer, they can only serve as a source of food for the herbivore during a short time of the year. Previous studies have revealed a high between-plant and between-year variation in plant quality caused by several interacting factors, such as the genetic differences between reed clones, the water and nutrient content of the soil, and interspecific competition with other plants. In addition, the annual germination and growth of the reed is strongly influenced by climatic factors. In the course of evolution, two main solutions have evolved to overcome the above mentioned problems within the genus Lipara.

Abstract Gunneraceae are a monogeneric family with about 50 species in six subgenera distributed in Malaysia (excluding the Malay Peninsula), Solomon Islands, Tasmania, New Zealand, Hawaii, Juan Fernandes, Mexico to Chile, Falkland Islands, Tie1rn del Fuego, tropical and South Africa, and Madagascar. All the species are perennial rhizomatous herbs growing in damp to wet places from low altitudes to above 3000 m. The smaller-leaved species are stoloniferous but the larger-leaved species are pachycaulous with stems proximally prostrate but tending to be erect distally. Some of the species in the subgenus Panke are gigantic plants reaching up to 6 m in height and are among the largest herbs on earth. In contrast, the smallest species, G. herteri Osten in the subgenus Ostenigunnera, is only 2–4 cm high. The larger-leaved upright species grow in large stands and the smaller-leaved, prostrate species grow in dense mats. Gunnera has a symbiotic relationship with the blue-green alga Nostoc, which enters the plant by means of glands on the stem just below the base of each young developing leaf and also at the seedling stage. In adult plants, cells in both stem and possibly also in the young leaf lamina are clearly seen to contain the N2 fixing Nostoc cells.

Abstract:
Giant reed (Arundo donax L.) is a fast-growing, rhizomatous, perennial C3 grass. It is con-sidered a leading crop for biomass production on marginal and degraded soils with numerous unfavorable conditions such as high salinity, drought, water retention, high and low temperatures and high concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTE). Tailings are a type of technosols con-sisting of the left-over materials from the processing of mined ores. They are characterized by a variety of unfavorable physical and chemical properties that limit or prevent the growth and de-velopment of plants. Tailings pose a potential threat to the environment as they are highly suscep-tible to wind and water erosion which can release significant amounts of PTEs into the environ-ment. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of establishing and maintaining the giant reed on the Pb, Zn and Cu mine tailings to facilitate phytostabilization of its surface. The experimental plot was established in 2019. After planting, the plants were fertilized with NPK (15:15:15) at a dosage of 650 kg/ha. The crop was not irrigated. After three years the concentra-tions of the following elements: N, K, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn were determined in the substrate and in the plant material. The highest content of macronutrients was found in the leaves. The ma-jority of PTE, except Mn and Zn were contained within roots, preventing transport to the aerial parts and potentially negative effects on various physiological processes. The preliminary results showed that it is possible to establish a self-sustaining crop of giant reed in a substrate such as mine tailings and provided a basis for future detailed research.

Abstract:
Изучены биологические особенности весеннецветущих травянистых интродуцентов в регионе. На материале наблюдений вегетационного сезона 2017-2021 гг. показано, как в течение короткого периода климатической весны (38 дней) накладываются сроки цветения видов. Фенологические характеристики растений, зацветающих до 1 июня на Среднем Урале, включая луковичные эфемероиды и корневищные многолетники необходимы для оптимизации цветочных композиций по срокам цветения. Полученные среднемноголетние данные отражают специфику климатических изменений в регионе. The biological features of early flowering herbaceous plants introduced in the region were studied. Phenological observations during growing season 2017-2021 shown how the flowering periods of the species superimpose during a short period of climatic spring (38 days). Phenological characteristics of plants blooming before June in the Middle Urals, including bulbous ephemeroids and rhizomatous perennials, are necessary to optimize flower compositions. The obtained average long-term data reflect the specifics of climate change in the region.
