Proposal Number: DEB-0105098Proposal Title: Dissertation Research: Games Plants Play: Intra- and Inter-specific competition as an ESSPIs: Joel Brown & Erin O'BrienThe way a plant grows roots in response to soil nutrients and the roots of other plants has important consequences with respect to its fitness (i.e., growth, survivorship, and reproduction), competition among plants, and plant community organization. The proposed research models and tests how root allocation can provide an indicator of competitive ability in different species. A three-pot design with two split-root plants provides each plant with the choice of proliferating roots in an exclusive space versus a shared space. Differences in competitive abilities between pairs of plants should manifest in predictably different strategies for allocating roots to the exclusive and shared pots. Garden plot experiments will then verify that the plant's rooting strategies predict outcomes of competition. The entire approach aims to show that plants may be much more animal-like in their behavior than previously thought.

提案编号：DEB-0105098提案标题：论文研究：植物游戏：作为 ESSPI 的种内和种间竞争：Joel Brown 和 Erin O'Brien 植物响应土壤养分而生根的方式以及其他植物的根部对其适应性（即生长、生存和繁殖）、植物之间的竞争和植物群落组织产生重要影响。 所提出的研究模型并测试了根分配如何提供不同物种竞争能力的指标。 带有两种分根植物的三盆设计为每种植物提供了在专有空间或共享空间中增殖根的选择。 成对植物之间竞争能力的差异应该体现在将根分配到专有和共享盆中的不同策略上。 然后，花园实验将验证植物的生根策略是否可以预测竞争结果。 整个方法旨在表明植物的行为可能比以前想象的更像动物。
