Traditionally, techniques of plant manipulation during restoration have focused on the
reduction of competition by 'problematic'existing vegetation. However, the increasing …

The pressures of a growing global economy, along with dwindling energy supplies and
environmental concerns, especially climate change, have increased interest in the …

Regime shifts-persistent changes in the structure and function of an ecosystem-are well-
documented for some ecosystems and have informed research and management of these …

Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) is invasive in temperate freshwater wetlands
throughout the United States and Canada and presents challenges to restoring tidal …

Phalaris arundinacea (reed canarygrass) is recognized as a problematic invader of North
American marshes, decreasing biodiversity and persisting in the face of control efforts. Less …

Floodplain forests have historically been resilient to the effects of flooding because the tree
species that inhabit these ecosystems regenerate and grow quickly following disturbances …

Assisted succession could enable long‐term restoration where successional trajectories
stall due to competition from invasive plants. Many invasives are shade‐intolerant; therefore …

Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) invades wetlands, forms monotypes, and resists
control efforts, suggesting that strong feedbacks sustain its dominance, as in the alternative …

Although floodplains are thought to serve as important buffers against nitrogen (N) transport
to aquatic systems, frequent flooding and high levels of nutrient availability also make these …

Floodplain and swamp forests are undergoing extensive changes due to altered flow
regimes, invasive species, logging, and various land use changes. These changes often go …
