Great Lakes coastal wetlands are subject to water level fluctuations that promote the maintenance of coastal wetlands. Point au Sauble, a Green Bay coastal wetland, was an open water lagoon as of 1999, but became entirely vegetated as Lake Michigan experienced a prolonged period of below-average water levels. Repeat visits in 2001 and 2004 documented a dramatic change in emergent wetland vegeta...

Machine learning is frequently combined with imagery acquired from uncrewed aircraft systems (UASs) to detect invasive plants. Having prior knowledge of which machine algorithm will produce the most accurate results difficult. This study examines efficacy a voting-based ensemble classifier identify Phragmites australis three-band (red, green, blue; RGB) and five-band blue, red edge, near-infrar...

Phragmites australis (common reed) is a perennial grass that grows in wetlands or near inland waterways. Due to its fast-growing properties and low requirement in nutrients and water, this arboreal variety is recognized as a promising source of renewable energy although it is one of the least characterized energy crops. In this experiment, the optimization of the bioethanol production process f...

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. Phragmites australis is one of the species with both, the highest potential of de...

Restoration efforts take place at large scales to improve the ecological value of degraded, modified river deltas. To anticipate on implications using dredged, estuarine sediment restore wetlands in deltas, we studied development Typha latifolia (cattail) and Phragmites australis (common reed) two designated dredged sediments, virgin Holocene clay (clay) eroded (mud), under different water leve...

Phragmites australis subsp. (hereon Phargmites), has become a dominating threat to the Great Lakes wetlands at time when climate change pressures are also compromising integrity of native habitat. Understanding role this invader plays in resiliency is crucial order improve management decisions protect and restore wetlands. This literature review was conducted predict if wetland’s effects could ...

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 monitoring the abundance of particular taxonomic groups, such as the return of native vegetation. Yet, the reestablishment of trophic interactions among organisms in restored habitats is equally important if we are to monit...

Wetland plants actively provide oxygen for aerobic processes in submerged tissues and the rhizosphere. The novel concomitant assessment of diurnal dynamics of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations under field conditions tests the whole-system interactions in plant-internal gas exchange and regulation. Oxygen concentrations ([O2]) were monitored in-situ in central culm and rhizome pith caviti...

Ladakh’s cropped and non-cropped areas suffer greatly from weedy invasion under subsistence agricultural system where weeding is not a priority but total crop + weed biomass together contribute to livestock feeding significantly. As agriculture along with rearing major activity of livelihood options, thereby contributing significantly Ladakh economy income generation for supporting resource poo...

Invasive plants often successfully occupy large areas encompassing broad environmental gradients in their invaded range, yet how invader dominance and effects on ecological communities vary across the landscape has rarely been explored. Furthermore, while impacts of invasion plant are well studied, it is not understood whether responses above-ground (plant) below-ground (microbial) coupled. Her...
