This collection of research papers and reviews focuses on how these changes are likely to interact with two important factors, clonal growth in plants and the introduction of species into new regions by humans, to reshape the ecology of our world. Clonal growth is vegetative reproduction in which offspring remain attached to the parent at least until establishment. Clonal growth is associated with the invasiveness of introduced species, their tendency to spread after introduction and negatively affect other species. Will changes in climate, land cover, or nutrients further increase biological invasions by introduced, clonal plants? The articles in this book seek to address this question with new research and theory on clonal growth and its interactions with invasiveness and other components of global change. 610 $aRapid evolution 610 $aenvironmental heterogeneity 610 $aAnthoxanthera philoxeroides 610 $aglobal change 610 $aclonal architecture and growth 610 $aphenotypic plasticity 610 $abiological invasions 610 $aendophytic bacteria 610 $aepigenetics 610 $aphysiological integration 700 $aPeter Alpert$4auth$01280384 702 $aFei-Hai Yu$4auth 702 $aSergio R.
