Kurt P. Kowalski 2016 <p><i>Phragmites australis</i>, also known as common reed, is a native North American wetland grass that has grown in North America for thousands of years. More recently, a nonnative, invasive variety of <i>Phragmites</i> from Eurasia is rapidly invading wetlands across the continental United States and other parts of North America, where it negatively impacts humans and the environment. U.S. Geological Survey scientists, funded by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, are leading innovative efforts to improve management of nonnative <i>Phragmites</i> in the Great Lakes Basin.</p> application/pdf 10.3133/fs20163031 en U.S. Geological Survey Collaborations, research, and adaptive management to address nonnative <i>Phragmites australis</i> in the Great Lakes Basin reports
