Competition and soil microbe‐mediated interactions following dieback of a dominant wetland plant
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Plant invasions can have important consequences for the soil ecosystem which, in turn, can affect interactions with other plant species and impose serious constraints on restoration efforts. In the Mississippi River Delta (MRD), USA, widespread dieback of the dominant wetland plant, Phragmites australis, was followed by the colonization of ...
