Biological invasion has been one of the reasons that coastal wetlands gradually lose their ecological services. The current study investigates spread a commonly found invasive species in Northeastern US, Phragmites australis. Within relatively pristine wetland complex New Jersey, we collected high-resolution multispectral remote sensing images for eight years (2011–2018), both winter and summer...

Understanding the functional relationship between greenhouse gas fluxes and environmental variables is crucial for predicting the impacts of wetlands on future climate change in response to various perturbations. We examined the relationships between methane (CH4) emission and temperature in two marsh stands dominated by the Phragmites australis and Cyperus malaccensis, respectively, in a subtr...

Common Reed (Phragmites australis) is a frequent component of inland and coastal wetlands in temperate zones worldwide. Ongoing environmental changes have resulted in the decline of this species in many areas and invasive expansion in others. In the Gippsland Lakes coastal waterway system in south-eastern Australia, increasing salinity is thought to have contributed to the loss of fringing P. a...

Roads, bridges, and dikes constructed across salt marshes can restrict tidal flow, degrade habitat quality for nekton, and facilitate invasion by non-native plants including Phragmites australis. Introduced P. australis contributes to marsh accretion and eliminates marsh surface pools thereby adversely affecting fish by reducing access to intertidal habitats essential for feeding, reproduction,...

A high content of heavy metals in the soil and plants a magnesite mining area might cause serious damage to environment can be threat health surrounding population. This paper presents results research that focused on analyzing metal dumping grounds factory Jelšava-Lubeník (Slovakia). The analysis (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, atomic absorption spectrometry), (inductively coupled plasma mas...
