Presenter: Stephen Enloe, Professor and Extension Specialist, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
Abstract: Common reed or Phragmites (Phragmites australis) is one of the most abundant and problematic wetland invaders in the United States. Its aggressive growth and tolerance to a wide range of conditions has facilitated invasion in countless areas. Land managers have struggled with Phragmites for years as populations often recover from intensive management through a combination of new seedling recruitment and rhizome sprouting. While there are no silver bullets for eradication, this presentation will dig into the science of Phragmites responses to cultural, physical, biological, and chemical management. Integrated approaches and where they are most effective will be highlighted throughout the presentation.
Short Bio: Stephen Enloe is a professor and extension specialist at the University of Florida IFAS Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants. He has worked on improving the science of invasive plant management for dozens of species across the United States over the last nineteen years and has focused extensively on invasive grasses in upland, wetland, and aquatic habitats.
