Growth and Morphological Responses of Duckweed to Clonal Fragmentation, Nutrient Availability, and Population Density

Connected ramets of aquatic clonal plants are susceptible to fragmentation by disturbance. Such clonal fragmentation may interact with nutrient availability and individual density to affect growth and morphology of aquatic clonal plants. We grew the widespread floating clonal plant Spirodela polyrhi...
