AB  - The purpose of this study was to explore clonal integration 
  of <I>Leymus chinensis</I> 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.
