“…Considerable differences in the assimilating surface were recorded between the sites and the years ( Dinka & Szeglet (1998, 2001) measured greater production and higher LAI values at the same sites. In addition and Burian (1971) recorded 1.3-1.8 times higher aboveground biomass and LAI in the Austrian part of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See.…”

The production of vigorous and die-back sites of the same reed belt and nutrient content of reed were studied to detect possible causes of reed die-back. Shoot density, total aboveground and belowground biomass and their C, N, P and S contents were also determined. Samples were collected from three vigorous and three die-back sites of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See in 1996 and 1997. Reed stands were compared when the biomass was maximal in both years. Reed shoots were significantly (p = 5%) shorter, thinner and had less internodes at the die-back sites than at the vigorous sites, where the aboveground biomass was 1.5-2.0 times and the leaf area index (LAI) 1.7-2.5 times higher. The belowground biomass was nearly the same at the vigorous and die-back sites. The amount of decaying belowground biomass was less than 50% of the total belowground biomass at the vigorous sites, while it reached 75% at the die-back sites. Different N, C, P and S concentrations were found in the reed organs studied (leaves, culm, rhizome and roots). The N concentration in leaves, culm and rhizome was higher at the die-back sites, where the P concentration was the lowest. There were no significant differences in the S concentration of the examined reed organs as comparing the vigorous and degraded reeds. The C concentration of culms were higher, while that of the living rhizomes were lower at healthy than at the die-back sites. The N, P, C and S standing stocks in the aboveground biomass were significantly lower at the die-back sites than at the vigorous sites. In the belowground biomass the P standing stock was significantly lower, while the N standing stock was significantly higher at the die-back sites than at the vigorous sites. Not more than 17% of the total dry mass m −2 , 17% of the C, 24% of the N, 14% of the S and 27% of the P standing stock was found in the aboveground phytomass produced in the actual year.

“…These sites have been investigated since 1987. as previously reported (Kohl and Henning, 1987;Kuhl, 1992;Kiihl and Kohl, 1992). In addition to this, samples were taken from sites at Lake Ferto in Hungary (Dinka and Szeglet, 1995) and Lake Vejlerne (one healthy site and one with dieback) in North Jutland/Denmark (Schierup. 1978) included in the EC project "Effects of interaction between eutrophication and major environmental factors on the ecosystem stability of reed vegetation in European landwater ecotones (EUREED)".…”

Some Aspects of the Importance of Genetic Diversity in Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel for the Development of Reed Stands

et al. 1997

Various sites of Phragmites australis in Germany (Uckermark and Mark Brandenburg) and sites in Hungary and Denmark were investigated by PCR fingerprinting in order to determine their genetic diversity. Genetic similarities were calculated and. based on this, a cluster analysis was performed. The genetic similarity of reed clones around one lake ranged from between 70 to loo%, that of clones from different lakes was clearly lower. The further apart the clones were situated from each other, the less similar they were. At a wetland site near the shore a sudden colonisation by several new Phragmites clones was observed. This site was located in front of a well established genetically almost homogenous stand within the eulittoral. All the results are discussed in connection with a proposed model of establishment and development of water reed stands: colonization, selection of best adapted clones by competition and the stability of stands.

“…The competitive nature of P. australis reflects the plant's adaptive features. Studies show that P. australis grows in soils of different pH, salinity, fertility and textures, and attains high productivity under different climatic conditions (Dinka and Szeglet 1998). Voluminous literature is available on the ecological significance of Phragmites (Marks et al 1994;Coops et al 1996;Brix 1999;Clevering and Lissner 1999;Meyerson et al 2000;Clevering et al 2001;Ostendorp et al 2003;Häfliger et al 2006;Nechwatal et al 2008;Weidenhamer et al 2013).…”

Extensive research is being conducted worldwide to find alternative and efficient systems to lessen the impacts of climate change and reduce environmental pollution. The genus Phragmites has proven ability to mitigate the environmental pollution of its surroundings. Common reed (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex. Steudel), a graminaceous plant of cosmopolitan nature, has been extensively studied especially for the mitigation of environmental contamination. The capability of common reed to grow well at extreme environmental conditions such as elevated CO 2 and high temperature is conferred by several factors such as change of carbon trapping mechanism (from C 3 to C 4 and vice versa), microbial association and biochemical adaptations. P. australis has been a most preferred unique plant system, especially in ecological engineering for improving the quality of wastewater. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge regarding the suitability of Phragmites australis for environmental remediation and summarizes recent advancements in our understanding of this grass.
