Spatial heterogeneity in light supply affects intraspecific competition of a stoloniferous clonal plant.

Spatial heterogeneity in light supply is common in nature. Many studies have examined the effects of heterogeneous light supply on growth, morphology, physiology and biomass allocation of clonal plants, but few have tested those effects on intraspecific competition. In a greenhouse experiment, we gr...
