Abstract

•
Establishment growth is a critical period in a plant’s life with the highest mortality rate. While germination is the beginning of establishment growth, flowering is considered its end. However, sexual reproduction is often accompanied by vegetative reproduction employing clonal growth organs such as rhizomes. Yet, we know very little about the establishment growth of clonal species and their clonal organs.

•
In this opinion, using our long-term experimental data, we show that rhizomatous herbs need at least two years to establish and that the common definition of establishment growth as the time between germination and first flowering is not accurate. We suggest that clonal herbs compared to non-clonal ones may be handicapped by a longer establishment growth.

•
The length of establishment growth may have large implications for studying plant regeneration, ecosystem restoration, species vulnerability levels, demographical bottlenecks, and also for experimental ecology. Conclusions drawn from primarily short-term studies may be influenced by the incomplete establishment of experimental plants and the ongoing development of their clonal growth organs.

建立生长器官和克隆生长器官

•成长期是植物一生中死亡率最高的关键时期。发芽是植物生长的开始，开花则是植物生长的结束。然而，有性生殖通常伴随着利用无性系生长器官如根茎的营养生殖。然而，我们对克隆物种的建立、生长及其克隆器官知之甚少。•在这个观点中，使用我们的长期实验数据，我们表明根状草本植物需要至少两年的时间来建立，并且建立生长的通常定义为发芽和首次开花之间的时间是不准确的。我们认为克隆草本植物与非克隆草本植物相比，可能受到较长生长时间的限制。•植物生长的长度可能对研究植物再生、生态系统恢复、物种脆弱性水平、人口瓶颈以及实验生态学具有重要意义。实验植物的不完全建立及其克隆生长器官的持续发育可能会影响主要短期研究得出的结论。

期刊介绍： Perspectives in Plant Ecology, Evolution and Systematics (PPEES) publishes outstanding and thought-provoking articles of general interest to an international readership in the fields of plant ecology, evolution and systematics. Of particular interest are longer, in-depth articles that provide a broad understanding of key topics in the field. There are six issues per year. The following types of article will be considered: Full length reviews Essay reviews Longer research articles Meta-analyses Foundational methodological or empirical papers from large consortia or long-term ecological research sites (LTER).
