What makes a garden grow? For the #Awajún, #cultivating #manioc is more than #planting and #harvesting. It is a relationship among people, plants, animals renewed through songs that call the garden into being

Does “Live Fast, Die Young” apply to ##plants beyond trees? Across more than 3,100 #herbaceous and small woody species, slow #growth was consistently associated with greater #longevity.

Some #plants are just made to be drawn (by Curtis Lubbe). Helianthus tuberosus produces wonderfully variable #stem #tuber, perfect for exploring the hidden #diversity of #belowground organs. #art #GoBelowground #ExFuMo #clonality

What makes #Triffid a plant and what makes it almost not a plant at all? In the third #Belowground post @Jitka_Klimesova dissects #morphology #movement #carnivory and #invasive potential of the most famous fictional plant 🪴

#GoBelowground 2026 is over, and what a great course it was! 🌱🔬
Thank you to all participants, lecturers and helpers for the energy, ideas, discussions and great atmosphere throughout the week #GoBelowground! 💚

The 5th day of #GoBelowground was all about mini-projects #Buds #Storage #FineRoots #Clonality #Rhizome #Stolon #Traits #FunctionalTraits #PlantEcology
Explore, measure, interpret and turn belowground traits into ecological stories.

🚩Sometimes the history of #landscape is hidden belowground. #Growthrings and #radiocarbon dating show that Psidium grandifolium survived for decades beneath Pinus plantations, waiting to #resprout when conditions improved #GoBelowground #Cerrado #ExFuMo

In a new interview for the Roots and All podcast, we talk #rhizomes, #bulbs, #tubers, #roots, #plant movement, #ecological #strategies, and why looking belowground can change the way we see plant life. #PlantScience #Botany #GoBelowground #ExFuMo

Václav Havel, tobacco, thrips, and #plant #functional #traits meet in this playful short story by Jane Scalabroni. A witty tale about #palatability, #plantdefence, and why even #pests may have their preferences.

What happens when fine #roots, rooting depth, #clonal organs and #budbank finally meet in one dataset? ▶️#UNDERPLOT: 19 key belowground traits for 10,453 vascular plant species

Going belowground in search of #Oxalis in #Brazil! From #waterfall #rocks to dry #roadsides, these plants reveal an amazing diversity of #bulbs, #rhizomes, and #clonal #strategies #GoBelowground #ExFuMo

#Plants at 6000 m live at the edge of what #vascular plants can tolerate. High N and P levels suggest that the limit may lie in growth and #physiology under an extremely short season.

What happens when you start looking belowground? Gabriela Dezotti describes how Go Belowground! Brazil 2026 changed the way she sees plant communities and even inspired a new PhD chapter. #GoBelowground #PlantScience #BelowgroundEcology #ExFuMo
New on Plant Life Belowground blog! A personal journey into #belowground organs and the #carbon #starvation hypothesis. A reminder that plant survival stories are often written beneath the soil surface.

#ExFuMo on the cover of @JEcology
Our colleague Curtis Lubbe created the #coverimage of #dormant #belowground structures in 90 #Oxalis species, capturing variation in #bulb size, number, depth and arrangement.

Are there general patterns behind #allocation to #clonal #offspring? 🌱
A new @JEcology blog post explores how clonal plants invest in offspring and what this reveals about plant #strategies, #persistence and #regeneration
