Is this plagiarism?
No, it is not plagiarism
Reference material: About 70% of the plant species in the temperate zone are characterized by clonal growth. Clonal plants also dominate severely stressed habitats like the Arctic and Subarctic. Since they are so dominant, it is of great importance that we gain knowledge of the processes that determine their growth, particularly as they significantly affect the structure and composition of the vegetation. Many weeds are clonal, and so are many of the cattle’s fodder plants; i.e., it is also of great economic importance that we increase our knowledge concerning clonal plants.
(Quoted from Niva (2003). Niva M. 2003. Life history strategies in Linnaea borealis, Doctoral thesis, Uppsala University, Uppsala.)
Extract from student report: Some emphasise that “Many weeds are clonal, and so are many of the cattle’s fodder plants; i.e., it is also of great economic importance that we increase our knowledge concerning clonal plants”.

Extract from student report: I have, after my studies on clonal plant species such as weeds in the temperate zone and cattle’s fodder, realised the importance of gaining more knowledge about these species both from an ecological and from an economic perspective.

Yes, because another person’s ideas, thoughts, opinions or theories are used and they are not referenced correctly
Why is it important not to plagiarize?
- To show that you have familiarised yourself with what has been done before
- To show what you yourself have done
- To not perform scientific misconduct
Reference material: Clonality is a wide-spread phenomenon in the plant kingdom, e.g. 10 out of 11 classes of vascular plants are able to proliferate vegetatively. Vegetative proliferation also occurs in lichens, fungi and some other groups of animals. The common feature of all types of plant clonality is the asexual, vegetative production of offspring that are genetically identical with each other and the parent plant.

What is plagiarism in scientific writing?
- Using someone else’s data or images without permission
- Presenting someone else’s work as your own, e.g., without proper citation or attribution
- Paraphrasing someone else’s work
