Restoring Forest in Wetlands Dominated by Reed Canarygrass: the Effects of Pre-Planting Treatments on Early Survival of Planted Stock


Abstract: Reed canarygrass(Phalaris arundinacea L.) is an aggressive and persistent invasive species in formerly forested wetlands of the northern United States. Heavy shading reduces the dominance of reed canarygrass,so a promising long-term approach to restoration of reed canarygrass–dominated wetlands is the establishment of woody plants that will over to pandshade the grass. The first step toward developing this long-term restoration method is to determine a combination of reed canarygrass control methods and suitable trees and shrubs to provide high early survival of the native woody plants.
