Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Population abundance increased across successive sites.
- Observation Shoot number fluctuated over time in all patches.
- Observation Stage structure was similar across years but differed among sites.
- Mechanism Juvenile, vegetative and generative shoots in Patch I may indicate successful recruitment.
- Mechanism Lack of pregenerative shoots in Patches II-IV may indicate an absence of safe sites for new genets.
- Observation Generative shoot traits showed little temporal variability.
- Observation Generative shoot traits varied spatially and mostly increased from Patch I to IV.
- Observation Patch I had the best population condition despite lowest shoot abundance.
