Abstract

My presentation demonstrates the preliminary analyses of my research from the summer of 2019 in Munuscong marsh on the effects of the invasive cattail Typha x glauca on wetland algal populations. Preliminary findings suggest that the shading caused by the dense stands these invaders form inhibits algal growth and chlorophyll-a production.
