Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands
• Migratory waterfowl habitat• 100’s of plant species• 50+ species of fish
• Habitat for >90% of GL fish • Threatened and endangered species• Multitudinous ecosystem services
• Nutrient pollution abatement• Water quality improvements• Hunting, fishing, and other recreation

Methane emissions
Fig. 1 Soils collected from Typha-invaded stands had greater methane production potential than native wet meadows in three Midwestern wetlands (mean ± 1 SE; n = 5).

Methane emissions
Under high water levels, average methane emissions from Typha-invaded soils were three times greater than native soils.

Ecological Impacts of invasive cattails in the Great Lakes
• Mechanisms of Typha dominance• Litter drives ecological change
• Biodiversity impacts• Typha dominance reduces plant diversity and
alters macroinvertebrate communities• Biogeochemical processes
• Typha dominance alters nitrogen and carbon cycling in wetland ecosystems
• Typha stands appear to harbor different microbial communities than sedge meadow and emergent marsh communities
