| The dynamics of Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) patches were studied in spruce (Picea abies) forest at the higher montane and lower subalpine level in the Tarentaise valley (Savoy, France). Although aerial parts of the shrub may give some indication of age and density of the patches, the annual growth and death of rhizomes are better indicators of patch dynamics. In some cases, dead and young rhizomes may occur simultaneously in the same patch, indicating that growth and death proceed continuously on the inside of dense patches. At mountain sites, slope position of plants significantly influences rhizome growth. A theoretical model of growth of bilberry patches is proposed which takes into account the anisotropic influence of slope and the postulated independence of different rhizome units belonging to the same individual. |
