Phase one of the project is to study and classify the behavior of individual clonal plants and their strategy to survive in challenging environments: clonal traits and their plasticity are at the core of this question. The main target is the identification of the objective function that corresponds to the optimal growing strategy.

Phase two of the project is to study the dynamic of clonal species mixtures in prairies. Rules linked with plant interaction will be added.
