Correlation of Soil Nutrient Characteristics and Reed Canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea: Poaceae) Abundance in Northern Illinois (USA)

—Phalaris arundinacea L. (reed canarygrass) is an aggressive graminoid species that invades wetlands in much of the northern United States. In areas previously used for agriculture and other recently disturbed habitats, P. arundinacea out-competes the native flora and creates monocultures, which reduce biodiversity and alter ecosystem functioning. Much research has focused on the growth respons...

(Phalaris arundinacea L.), and Native Plants in Wisconsin Wet Meadows

1 Corresponding author: [email protected]; (608) 238-4673; fax: (608) 262-7509 ABSTRACT: Twelve wet meadows in Dane County, Wisconsin showed vegetation patterns that correlate with hydrologic disturbance and presence of a clonal invasive grass, Phalaris arundinacea L., at two scales, 4500-m2 (0.45 ha) “sites” and 1-m2 plots. Sites with indicators of hydrologic disturbance had lower species rich...

Increased genetic variation and evolutionary potential drive the success of an invasive grass.

Despite the increasing biological and economic impacts of invasive species, little is known about the evolutionary mechanisms that favor geographic range expansion and evolution of invasiveness in introduced species. Here, we focus on the invasive wetland grass Phalaris arundinacea L. and document the evolutionary consequences that resulted from multiple and uncontrolled introductions into Nort...
