Background Biological invasions are a major ecological and socio-economic problem in
many parts of the world. Despite an explosion of research in recent decades, much remains …

Phragmites australis is a cosmopolitan grass and often the dominant species in the
ecosystems it inhabits. Due to high intraspecific diversity and phenotypic plasticity, P …

This account presents comprehensive information on the biology of Phragmites australis
(Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.(P. communis Trin.; common reed) that is relevant to understanding its …

Phragmites australis (common reed) is one of the most extensively distributed species of
emergent plant worldwide. The adaptive features of this plant show its competitive character …

This paper reviews about 190 publications related to the anatomy, morphology and growth
of aboveground and belowground parts of common reed (Phragmites australis). In addition …

Background and Aims The hypothesis of an ancient introduction, ie archaeophyte origin, is
one of the most challenging questions in phylogeography. Arundo donax (Poaceae) is …

Over the last century, native Phragmites australis lineages have been almost completely
replaced along the North American Atlantic coast by an aggressive lineage originating from …

Genetic diversity and reproductive mode can control whether an introduced species
becomes invasive. Here we use genetic tools to compare the non-native, invasive …

Climate change is projected to increase stress for many coastal plant communities. Along
large portions of the North American coast, habitat degradation from anthropogenic changes …

Global change is predicted to promote plant invasions world-wide, reducing biodiversity and
ecosystem function. Phenotypic plasticity may influence the ability of introduced plant …
