Overview

Randomized trial examines water uptake strategies in alpine wetland clonal plants, suggesting ecological adaptation mechanisms.

Key Points

  • This research aims to identify how physiological integration affects water uptake and biomass allocation in Potentilla anserina in alpine wetlands.
  • Examined water uptake sources and traits of Potentilla anserina along a riverbank distance gradient in the Zoige Alpine Wetland.
  • Utilized spacer-severing and intact-spacer treatments to analyze the impacts on water uptake and morphological traits.
  • P. anserina mainly sourced water from shallow soil and showed seasonal plasticity in water uptake, particularly in autumn.
  • Severed ramets had lower specific leaf area and leaf water content but higher water-use efficiency and biomass allocation to belowground organs compared to intact ramets.
