Root:shoot ratio in developing seedlings: How seedlings change their allocation in response to seed mass and ambient nutrient supply by Mašková, Tereza, Herben, Tomáš

“…Root:shoot (R:S) biomass partitioning is one of the keys to the plants' ability to compensate for limiting resources in the environment and thus to survive and…”

Polyploid species rely on vegetative reproduction more than diploids: a re-examination of the old hypothesis by Herben, Tomáš, Suda, Jan, Klimešová, Jitka

“…Polyploidy is arguably the single most important genetic mechanism in plant speciation and diversification. It has been repeatedly suggested that polyploids…”

Belowground morphology as a clue for plant response to disturbance and productivity in a temperate flora by Klimešová, Jitka, Herben, Tomáš

“…Plants possess a large variety of nonacquisitive belowground organs, such as rhizomes, tubers, bulbs, and coarse roots. These organs determine a whole set of…”

Temporal niche differentiation among species changes with habitat productivity and light conditions by Huang, Lin, Xue, Wei, Herben, Tomáš, Roxburgh, Stephen

“…Aim Niche differentiation along the temporal axis has often been suggested as a potential mechanism of species coexistence. Species may co‐occur by shifting…”

Red‐deer dung increases species diversity but does not influence species composition of open grasslands by Lepková, Barbora, Horčičková, Eva, Herben, Tomáš

“…Questions Free‐ranging herbivores are often seen as important endozoochorous dispersal vectors for plant propagules. Dispersal by free‐ranging animals, in…”

Disturbance is an important factor in the evolution and distribution of root-sprouting species by Klimešová, Jitka, Herben, Tomáš, Martínková, Jana

“…We address the neglected issue of ecological and evolutionary significance of root sprouting (RS) in plants. RS has been considered a sort of morphological…”
