I am studying the gas fluxes in invasive Phragmites australis to determine if Phragmites-dominated wetlands are carbon sources or carbon sinks. It can be a carbon sink in its native range, but in North America the answer isn't so clear. Along with that, I am looking to see how seed banks can help restore areas that have been treated with herbicides to remove Phragmites. The goal is to help inform land managers on how to restore areas after a removal event.
