Abstract excerpt
Clonal reproduction represents a fundamental strategy in plant propagation, enabling the formation of extensive genetically identical populations through persistent asexual growth. Understanding the spatial-temporal dynamics of these clonal systems, particularly with regard to their age, size, and somatic mutation patterns, is crucial for unravelling the evolutionary ecology of long-lived plant species. While...
