Mapping Invasive Phragmites australis Using Unoccupied Aircraft System Imagery, Canopy Height Models, and Synthetic Aperture Radar

Remote Sensing, 2021
Invasive plant species are an increasing worldwide threat both ecologically and financially. Knowing the location of these invasive plant infestations is the first step in their control.

Invasive Phragmites provides superior wave and surge damage protection relative to native plants during storms

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Phragmites marshes, which are found in every continent except in Antarctica, are being removed by resource managers in the US because it is considered an invasive species with little ecosystem service value.

Differences in rhizosphere microbial communities between native and non‐native Phragmites australis may depend on stand density

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Microorganisms surrounding plant roots may benefit invasive species through enhanced mutualism or decreased antagonism, when compared to surrounding native species.

Studies on the Accumulation, Translocation, and Enrichment Capacity of Soils and the Plant Species Phragmites Australis (Common Reed) with Heavy Metals

Sustainability, 2023
In the present study, heavy metal concentrations (Cu, Zn, Pb, As) from former industrial areas were analyzed in soil and the plant species Phragmites Australis (common reed), a plant species found in shallow river banks.

Impoundment increases methane emissions in Phragmites‐invaded coastal wetlands

Global Change Biology, 2022
Saline tidal wetlands are important sites of carbon sequestration and produce negligible methane (CH4) emissions due to regular inundation with sulfate‐rich seawater.

Plant effects on and response to soil microbes in native and non-native Phragmites australis.

Ecological Applications, 2022
Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) mediate plant community dynamics and may plausibly facilitate plant invasions. Microbially-mediated PSFs are defined by plant effects on soil microbes and subsequent changes in plant performance (responses), both positive and ...
