The evolutionary ecology of vegetative dormancy in mature herbaceous perennial plants (2009, background): “Long-lived plants generally exhibit life histories suggesting an ‘escape’ from senescence (Silvertown et al. 2001), and sometimes even negative senescence (Vaupel et al. 2004), in which age-specific mortality continually declines with age.”
Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “Empirical support for this notion comes from a demographic analysis of herbaceous and woody plants (Silvertown et al. 2001) that detected increasing agespecific mortality near the maximum life span (that is, signs of senescence) only in the longest-lived species.”
Demography of perennial grassland plants: survival, life expectancy and life span (2008, unknown): “…the field data used to estimate matrix elements for stage-structured analyses does not distinguish between ramets and genets and therefore the convention is to assume they are the same even when it is known that a plant or a portion of the plants being analyzed are clonal (Silvertown et al. 2001).”
Population viability analysis of Cypripedium calceolus in a protected area: longevity, stability and persistence (2005, background): “The extreme longevity we found in Zab and Pog could be explained by the larger size of adult clumps in these populations, as survival is often size-dependent in clonal plants (Peterson & Jones 1997) or by the use of clumps as our demographic unit, as it is possible that several genets are present pe”
Death without sex—the ‘problem of the small’ and selection for reproductive economy in flowering plants (2008, background): “However, larger, longer-lived species also generally require more time and larger size before first reproduction (Silvertown et al. 2001), and so under crowded conditions, as a necessary trade-off, they have a lower density of rooted units because they suffer more severe selfthinning (Harper 1977;…”
