Restoration efforts take place at large scales to improve the ecological value of degraded, modified river deltas. To anticipate on implications using dredged, estuarine sediment restore wetlands in deltas, we studied development Typha latifolia (cattail) and Phragmites australis (common reed) two designated dredged sediments, virgin Holocene clay (clay) eroded (mud), under different water leve...

Future climate change has been predicted to affect the potential distribution of plant species. However, only few studies have addressed how invasive species may respond to future climate change despite the known effects of plant species invasion on nutrient cycles, ecosystem functions, and agricultural yields. In this study, we predicted the potential distributions of two invasive species, Rum...

Increased focus is being placed on the ability of native vegetation to mitigate potential harmful effects of agricultural runoff, especially pyrethroid insecticides. Replicate 379 L Rubbermaid tubs (1.25 m [l] x 0.6 m [w] x 0.8 m [h]) were planted with individual species of cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides), cattails (Typha latifolia), bur-reed (Sparganium americanum), and powdery alligator-flag (Th...

Typha latifolia leaves have been exploited as low cost biosorbent for remediation ofaqueous media contaminated with the reactive dye Drimarene Blue K2RL (DB-K2RL) discharged fromtextile effluents. The effect of parameters such initial concentration dye, amount bio-sorbent,initial pH, shaking time and speed were investigated to evaluate its sorption capacity. maximumsorption was observed on addi...
