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 …

Studies on invasive plant management are often short in duration and limited in the methods
tested, and lack an adequate description of plant communities that replace the invader …

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 …

A fundamental challenge to invasion ecology is to determine what factors cause an exotic
species to spread rapidly long after the initial introduction. The increase of a resource (eg …

• Premise of the study: Long‐distance dispersal can affect speciation processes in two
opposing ways. Dispersal can promote geographic isolation or it can bring together …

Understanding the processes that control deep soil carbon (C) dynamics and accumulation
is of key importance, given the relevance of soil organic matter (SOM) as a vast C pool and …

Considerable resources are spent worldwide to manage invasive plant species and
preserve the integrity and diversity of native or restored habitats and communities. Here, we …

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

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

• Premise of the study: The Eurasian subspecies of the common reed (Phragmites australis
subsp. australis, hereafter abbreviated as P. a. australis) was introduced to North America in …
