摘      要：Aims To explore whether the trade-off between seed and vegetative reproductive modes is flexible in environments with different amounts of available resources to maintain optimal *** A transition matrix model was established to determine the optimal trade-off between seed and vegetative reproduction in resources–variable *** Findings The model predicts that plants allocate more resources to seed reproduction when available resources are *** increasing resources,more vegetative propagules are ***,if resources keep increasing to a harmful level,plants would switch to seeds again.
