Invasive species issues are central to ecological restoration worldwide. Reversing invasive species spread is a common motivation for restoration and the outcome of many projects depends on adequate control throughout the restoration process. Our lab has worked on several wetland invasive species, notably reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea).
