Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) by Jason Tesauro, last updated: Feb 22, 2021 12:31 PM: Reed canary grass is an aggressive, cool-season perennial grass that invades and dominates a variety of wetland types including marshes, wet prairies, sedge meadows, fens, stream banks, and seasonally wet areas. This species can also grow in disturbed areas and spoil piles. Roots spread extensively by creeping rhizomes and runners. Reed canary grass is difficult to eradicate and is one of the first wetland plants to emerge in the spring, enabling it to shade out native species that emerge later in the growing season.

Common reed (Phragmites australis) by Jason Tesauro, last updated: Feb 22, 2021 12:31 PM: Common reed, or Phragmites, is a tall, perennial grass that can grow to over 15 feet in height. Phragmites forms dense stands which include both live stems and standing dead stems from previous year’s growth. Phragmites forms a dense network of roots and rhizomes which can go down several feet in depth. This pervasive species quickly invades sites taking over wetland communities and alters hydrology and habitat by blocking light to native plants and occupies the belowground growing space.

Priority Southeast U.S. Counties for Prescribed Burning Emphasis by Bridgett Costanzo, last updated: Feb 10, 2021 04:27 PM: This project was funded by NRCS and completed by NCSU in partnership with the Longleaf Alliance and Longleaf Implementation Teams (LIT) under America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative (ALRI). A set of counties within each of the 9 southern states in the longleaf pine range were identified by LIT staff as priority areas for implementation of prescribed burning efforts including executing on-the-ground burns, burn training workshops, establishment of Prescribed Burn Associations, and other activities where focused efforts can advance habitat management goals, improve forest health and mitigate wildfire risk.
