Hi Fred, Sept 3, 2010
This is more widespread than I had supposed (don't get out much and tend to glue eyes to the road/traffic).
Are the distances (e.g. 4.8 km ESE Kentville) as the crow flies or along the shortest highway route ? From the Post Office or some other zero point ?
Does the absence of Phragmites stands along secondary roads mean that only main roads were surveyed or does it reflect a distribution that is limited to main roads ?
Is it possible that intensive use of highway salt gives saline tolerant Phragmites an advantage ? Shoulders on main highways may have white patches into late summer.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville

* we're still moving too fast to think about results, but I'll attach a
listing of the Phragmites we've seen or collected in Nova Scotia so far.
Some of them have been nonstandard for the invasive form, but none of
them are the fully-featured European form.
Thanks to everyone for the locations of stands elsewhere in the
province, we'll keep looking, and report further finds,
