Early detection of invasive Phragmites australis at the tidal marsh-forest ecotone with airborne LiDAR

Wetlands across North America are invaded by an introduced lineage of the common reed Phragmites australis, and sea level rise has exacerbated the spread of this species. P. australis at tidal marsh-forest ecotones has rapidly been expanding into deteriorating forest, colonizing understory environme...
