What drives the shift between sexual and clonal reproduction of Caragana stenophylla along a climatic aridity gradient?
Abstract Background The reasons that clonal plants shift between sexual and clonal reproduction have persisted as a knowledge gap in ecological literature. We hypothesized that clonal plants’ shifts between sexual and clonal reproduction in different environments are driven by the relative costs of...
