Saltmarshes are a major, widely distributed, intertidal habitat. They are dynamic systems,
responding to changing environmental conditions. For centuries, saltmarshes have been …

Although the predatory and competitive impacts of biological invasions are well
documented, facilitation of native species by non-indigenous species is frequently …

Microtopography, or the small‐scale variation in ground surface height (10− 1–100 m) over
short (100–102 m) spatial scales, is a ubiquitous feature of wetlands globally. This variation …

Invasive plants are one of the most serious threats to native species assemblages and have
been responsible for the degradation of natural habitats worldwide. As a result, removal of …

While public funding of invasive species management has increased substantially in the
past decade, there have been few cross-institutional assessments of management …

Phragmites australis (common reed) is widespread in North America, with native and non-
native haplotypes. Many ecologists and wetland managers have considered P. australis a …

Invasive smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora, hereafter Spartina) has been expanding
rapidly in the estuarine wetlands at Chongming Dongtan (East China) at the expense of …

In tidal marshes of the northeast US, replacement of native cattail (Typha angustifolia) by the
common reed (Phragmites australis) is widespread, and reed is often the target of removal …

Habitat loss is causing amphibian population declines worldwide, so there is increased
attention to forces that degrade remaining habitats. Terrestrial habitats surrounding wetlands …

Restoration of habitats impacted by invasive plants is becoming an increasingly important
tool in the management of native biodiversity, though most studies do not go beyond …
