• Ecology and Impacts of the Large-Statured Invasive Grasses Arundo donax and Phragmites australis in North America (2010, background): “It also can affect ecosystem-level processes, such as nutrient cycling (Windham and Meyerson 2003) and sedimentation rates (Rooth et al. 2003).”
• Expansion pathways of the exotic common reed (Phragmites australis): a historical and genetic analysis (2007, background): “…often have severe consequences for plant and animal diversity and may alter the ecological functions of wetlands (Keller, 2000; Meyerson et al ., 2000; Lathrop et al ., 2003; Rooth et al ., 2003; Windham & Meyerson, 2003; Mal & Narine, 2004; Silliman & Bertness, 2004; Minchinton et al ., 2006).”
• Biogeomorphic Impacts of Invasive Species (2014, background): “In coastal ecosystems, common reed (Phragmites australis) was found to increase the trapping of minerals and organic sediment in salt marsh environments, which accelerated the rates of vertical accretion beyond the threshold of native plant assemblages (Lathrop et al. 2003, Rooth et al. 2003).”
• Salt tolerance underlies the cryptic invasion of North American salt marshes by an introduced haplotype of the common reed Phragmites australis (Poaceae) (2005, background): “…and Environmental Control Mar Ecol Prog Ser 298: 1–8, 2005 marshes alters their ecological functions and has become a major concern to natural resource managers (Able & Hagan 2003, Able et al. 2003, Currin et al. 2003, Ravit et al 2003, Rooth et al. 2003, Weis et al. 2003, Widham & Meyerson 2003).”
• Rhizome growth dynamics of native and exotic haplotypes ofPhragmites australis (Common reed) (2006, background): “…has grown regarding the effects of invasion, including altered structure and function in comparison to Spartina alterniflora (Roman et al. 1984), decreased plant diversity (Chambers et al. 1999), and reduced access for aquatic species due to increased sedimentation rates (Rooth et al. 2003).”
• How Plants Influence Resilience of Salt Marsh and Mangrove Wetlands to Sea-Level Rise (2020, background): “Sediment also can adhere to living plant surfaces (Li and Yang 2009), fallen plant litter (Rooth et al. 2003), or benthic algae (McKee 2011) and later be incorporated into the soil.”
• Causes and Consequences of Invasive Plants in Wetlands: Opportunities, Opportunists, and Outcomes (2004, background): “Accretion of materials, including litter, can be twice as high as in marshes that this species replaces (Rooth et al., 2003) with rates that are 3 to 4 mm higher than uninvaded sites.”
