Journal Article
Phragmites australis: from genes to ecosystems
2016
Overview
The common reed, genus Phragmites (Poaceae), is possibly the most widely distributed and well-studied plant in the world. It is found throughout temperate parts of the world and, while rarer in the tropics, generally dominates plant communities where it occurs, forming a characteristic tall-grass community in wetlands worldwide (Fig. 1). Phragmites has positive attributes as an ecosystem engineer and provides essential ecological and economic services, such as wildlife habitat, erosion control, improvement of water quality, and biomass production. However, Phragmites can also be an aggressive invader, particularly in North America where introductions of non-native Phragmites australis lineages have overtaken native communities (which sometimes include nativeP. australis subsp. americanus) and become dominant in wetlands across the continent.
