| Title | Mechanisms of Phragmites invasion in the Chesapeake Bay: Disentangling the importance of land-use, disturbances, nutrients, genetic diversity, and viable seed production |
| Creator | Kettenring, Karin M |
| 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. Little is known, however, about factors responsible for its spread and success. We addressed the following questions: Are within- and among-patch genetic variation an indicator of... |
