It is the principal, dominant species in European reedswamps and marshes, where the species may live for thousands of years. \u003cem\u003ePhragmites\u003c\/em\u003e grows in a variety of environmental conditions. It occurs from bog to marsh, to lake edges, from damp ground to depths of up to four metres in brackish and freshwater, from sea level to mountain. It may be tall and dominant, sparse and flaccid in wet woods, in bands along streams, as solitary shoots in fens, as short (10 cm) scratchy shoots in dry, salty trampled places, or as runners along the ground. Quite a variety! The study of \u003cem\u003ePhragmites\u003c\/em\u003e has been patchy, and serious, long-term research on the plant is still needed. The author is one of the people who, during a long career, has undertaken any such investigations. In this book, the life history of the plant, its pattern and growth, genetic and clonal variations, along with the plant's physical economic impact on its environment, are all discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all else, it shows how remarkable this plant is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Haslam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1916878105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781916878105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tina's Fine Art UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.72d","brand":"Sylvia Haslam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169983885567,"sku":"9781916878105","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28bb6866-eb6f-4a28-af28-1ef09f7fabe3.jpg?v=1689656129","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-book-of-reed-phragmites-sylvia-haslam-9781916878105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
