Abstract

Methodological recommendations are given for comparative investigations of production by invasion stands of reed (Phragmites communis Trin.). The comparisons are mainly based on estimates of the seasonal maximum shoot biomass and leaf area index. Recommendations for a quantitative morphological characteristic of thePhragmites shoots, and for a description of the habitat, are also given.
