abstract = {The purpose of this study was to explore clonal integration
of Leymus chinensis under heterogeneous alkaline conditions. The experiment
consisted of three levels of substrate alkaline (8.5, 10, pH 11.5 ), two clonal
integration treatments (rhizomes severed or not). Clonal integration enhanced
the survival, growth of daughter ramets experiencing alkaline stress, especially
for young ramets whereas the performance of mother ramets was reduced by clonal
integration. Therefore, clonal integration did not affect performance of the
whole clones.}
