Provenance, genotype, and flooding influence growth and resource acquisition characteristics in a clonal, riparian shrub.

Growth and resource acquisition responses in a clonal, riparian shrub are affected by changes to inundation and plant demographics in unique ways. Shrubs appear to differ from trees in their responses to environmental change. Understanding environmental effects on shrubs separately from those of trees will be a key part of evaluating environmental change impacts on riparian ecosystems.
