| Description | Background/Question/Methods The introduced haplotype of Phragmites australis is an aggressive invader and has a negative effect on many aspects of wetland ecosystems in North America. In Chesapeake Bay subestuaries it was more abundant and had higher foliar N in wetlands with developed vs. forested watersheds.
