I was surprised to find the wikipedia page for Phragmitis,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmites, devoid of mention of the
subspecies distinction between native and introduced, and though it is
interesting to read about all the uses Phragmitis is put to, readers don't
learn anything about impact on habitat.
Related, I just posted photos of Phragmitis growing through asphalt along
the edge of a busy road.
