In tropics and subtropics, Phragmites karka is an abundant invasive species. [19] In the United States, prior to 1910, only a few areas in the Northeast contained non-native haplotypes of Phragmites australis. [20] However, by 1960 non-native haplotypes were found in samples taken from coast to coast.
Recent studies have characterized morphological distinctions between the introduced and native stands of Phragmites australis in North America. The Eurasian phenotype can be distinguished from the North American phenotype by its shorter ligules of up to 0.9 millimetres (1 ⁄ 32 in) as opposed to over 1 mm, shorter glumes of under 3.2 mm (1 ⁄ 8 in) against over 3.2 mm (although there is some ...
This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...

What is the difference between continental, regional and local native plants? And what about invasive plants? Here's a breakdown for your green thumb.
Arundo is a highly invasive plant in southwestern North American rivers, and its promotion as a biofuel in other regions is of great concern to environmental scientists and land managers. [22] Arundo donax was introduced from the Mediterranean to California in the 1820s for roofing material and erosion control in drainage canals in the Los ...
[17] Phragmites rapidly colonizes near areas and can out compete replace native marsh vegetation. [17] This invasive species provides little to no food or shelter to salt marsh wildlife. [17] Wrack, while not an invasive species in the traditional sense, also can destroy native salt marsh vegetation.
“This is a great example of the effects invasive species can have on native Florida wildlife!” Photos shared by the center show the creamy white worms were durable enough to be plucked out intact.
