TL;DR: It is suggested that the diverse lineages of P. australis will undergo intense selective pressure in the face of global change such that the distributions and interactions of co-occurring lineages, as well as those of genotypes within-lineages, are very likely to be altered.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the EU-type will not become dominant over theDelta-type, since the Delta-type has superior ecophysiological traits, and the projected rise in atmospheric CO2 and temperature will alleviate the effects of salinity on both phenotypes and facilitate their expansion into more saline areas.

TL;DR: A framework for the development of ‘Global Networks for Invasion Science’ is proposed to help generate approaches to address critical and fundamentally biogeographic questions and is defined on the basis of their focus on research questions at the global scale, collection of primary data, use of standardized protocols and metrics, and commitment to long-term global data.

TL;DR: The responses of the two contrasting P. australis genotypes to temperature and fertilization are genetically determined and related to the climatic conditions at the site of their origin, and may influence how the genotypes will respond to global environmental change.

TL;DR: The responses to progressively increasing salinity of fifteen distinct Phragmites australis clones reveal genotype-related strategies of salt avoidance and exclusion, which can be partially attributed to their geographic range, but not correlated to ploidy level.
