Litter legacy increases the competitive advantage of invasive Phragmites australis in New England wetlands (2011, background): “In particular, nutrient enrichment has been shown to fuel the spread of reed canary grass, Phalaris arundinacea (Maurer and Zedler 2002), cattail hybrid, Typha 9 glauca ( Woo and Zedler 2002; Zedler and Kercher 2004), giant reed, Arundo donax (Quinn et al. 2007) and common reed, Phragmites australi”
Patterns of environmental change associated withTypha xglauca invasion in a Great Lakes coastal wetland (2009, background): “Typha x glauca poses a significant threat to wetland biodiversity where nutrients are abundant, even when managers try to counteract its dominance through control efforts and planting of native species (Bedford et al. 1999, Woo and Zedler 2002).”
Hybridization dynamics of invasive cattail (Typhaceae) stands in the Western Great Lakes Region of North America: a molecular analysis (2010, background): “…is whether the spread of T. · glauca is dependent on anthropogenic forms of disturbance such as altered hydrology and elevated nutrient levels (e.g.Wilcox, Apfelbaum&Hiebert 1985; Woo & Zedler 2002), or whether hybrid vigour alone would be sufficient for the evolution of cattail invasiveness.”
