Clonal reproduction as a driver of liana proliferation following large‐scale disturbances in temperate forests
Our analysis revealed that a few genets, recruited via seed dispersal in early successional stages, rapidly expanded through extensive clonal reproduction, leading to long-term liana proliferation. These findings highlight how clonality and seed recruitment, together with environmental changes during succession, shape the population dynamics and clonal diversity of lianas following disturbances.
