Impacts of the invasive reed Arundo donax on biodiversity at the community-ecosystem level
Arundo donax is an invasive species that mostly impacts on sensitive riparian ecosystems. Arundo is also invasive in South Africa, though less is known about its ecology, biology, and impacts. Since California and the Western Cape of South AFrica have similar Mediterranean-type climates, we could …

Prioritizing the Management of Arundo Donax: Recommendations for Removal and Revegetation in California Riparian Habitats
… highly invasive grass species, giant reed (<em>Arundo donax),</em> has been a major contributor to riparian habitat degradation in California for over 50 years. Several modes of vegetative reproduction have allowed this alien species to take advantage of fluvial processes and rapidly spread …
