The genetic structure of a Brachypodium hybridum population in a patchy arid landscape is independent of neighboring perennials and stable over two consecutive years.

Abstract excerpt

In arid landscapes perennials can provide protection for annual plants against environmental stress such as drought. This could lead to population sub-structuring of the annuals, because of position dependent reproductive success, and/or competition for association with perennial shrubs. Although such interactions are well known drivers of plant community dynamics, little is known about the local and temporal...
