What is Phragmitits?

Phragmites are common reeds known scientifically as Phragms Australis . They are located around the world in Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and Australia. While it is mainly found in coastal swamps and wetlands, Reed is also inland in areas such as the Midwest United States. Phragmitits is spreading through the root system of the rhizome and are often used as a habitat for many different types of birds. The plant can reach 19.6 feet (6 m) and the invasive nature of its root structure means that it is often considered an inconvenience and sometimes removed, so it does not interfere with another plant life and shores.

originally considered to be introduced to North America from Europe, there is now evidence that some forms of the race come from North America. Phragmites can live in clear and brackish water and grow on large land connected by a shared root system known as reed beds. Grazing of Pasture Animals TUthat serve as restrictive functions of bed size, which, when left uncontrolled, can grow to a size reaching almost half a square mile (1 km).

Phragmity flower in mid -summer and grow silk hair like spikelets. Although the reeds spread mostly through the root structure of the rhizome, the spread of flowers with wind is used to move the plant to new areas. On the contrary, the thick root system of the plant makes it possible to move quickly in its current space and overtake other leaves in the area. The invasiveness of phragmites means that it is often removed due to blocking the coastal approach and destroying the surrounding life of plants. Due to the toughness of its root structure, the plant may need to be removed by more burns and chemical treatments such as herbicides.

Many kinds of birds use Phragmitits as a habitat for wimigration, nests and chov. There is some concern that frequent removal of reeds can push the birds and endanger their survival. Several types of heron, such as Green Heron, use reed for nesting, while types of geese, such as Canadian goose, use it for breeding. Other species of birds living in reeds include Mallard Duck, Tree Swallows and Marsh Wren.

Although it was no longer common practice, Phragmitys were used in Britain as reeds to make the roof of houses and other structures. Historically, Reed was also used to make baskets, mats and even spears. It is still used to this day in some forms of filtering of water, where the roots of the plants are used for treatment and filter out gray water for irrigation purposes.
