Livestock as a potential biological control agent for an invasive wetland plant [PDF]
Invasive species threaten biodiversity and incur costs exceeding billions of US$. Eradication efforts, however, are nearly always unsuccessful. Throughout much of North America, land managers have used expensive, and ultimately ineffective, techniques to

Footholds for pioneers: How geomorphic features accelerate early marsh assembly
Abstract Ecosystem transitions from bare to vegetated states often stall at early stages, before the biogeomorphic feedbacks needed for further expansion take hold. In aquatic systems, this bottleneck is especially common where inundation and hydrodynamic conditions may impose strong abiotic filters on pioneer establishment.

Phytotreatment of sludges (Phragmites australis) for their reuse in the environment
The aim of this study is the evaluation of the agronomic characteristics acquired by a phytotreated sludge coming from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) located in Tuscany (central Italy). The chemical characterization showed values which are within the Italian legislation limits for mixed composts. From an agronomic point of view, the sludge did not

Uptake of carbamazepine by rhizomes and endophytic bacteria of Phragmites australis [PDF]
Carbamazepine is an antiepileptic and mood-stabilizing drug which is used widely in Europe and North America. In the environment, it is found as a persistent and recalcitrant contaminant, being one of the most prominent hazardous pharmaceuticals and personal care products in effluents of wastewater treatment plants.

Assessing the Impact of Hydraulic Retention Time and Sawdust on the Elimination of Pb and Co from Oily Wastewater via Vertical-Flow Constructed Wetlands (VFCWs) with Phragmites Australis Cultivation [PDF]
Constructed wetlands have been increasingly used as an effective method for removing heavy metals from wastewater. This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of sawdust and Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) on the performance of vertical-flow ...

Abstract Macrophytes are foundation species whose use as nature‐based solution (NbS) in aquatic ecosystems can help reduce climate change impacts while mitigating biodiversity loss. The discrepancy in research and application of macrophytes as NbS across inland and marine coastal ecosystems is an opportunity to expand the concept and learn from ...

Climate change‐driven expansion of goosegrass highlights risks to global food production
Climate change is expanding the climatic suitability of Eleusine indica into temperate agricultural regions, increasing its overlap with major soybean and maize production areas. These findings highlight a growing global threat to food security and the need for proactive weed management strategies.
