Different Origins

The common reed, Phragmites australis, is a plant species quite similar to the currently used bio-based aggregates and available on most continents. The purpose of this work is to characterise this common reed and compare its properties to other plants already studied for building use. This study presents the different properties focussing on Phragmites australis chemical composition, hydrophobicity nature and how this character could be explained. To that end, wettability and also water adsorption measurements were carried out on plant flour and aggregates in comparison to miscanthus, wood and hemp shiv properties. Formulations based on reeds of different origins and using different binders (lime and earth) were tested in compression and with thermal conductivity measurements in order to evaluate the behaviour of the reed as a material for building use.

Final Effect

The common reed (CR) is one of the plants which grows in some area of Iran and other world countries especially in coastal wetlands. Feed resource restriction is the most problem in animal production in some area and native plants have a key role. Ensiling may improve the quality of crop or decrease by high fermentation. These effects depend on stage of growth, chemical composition, dry matter and nutrients of plant, and final effect is not as same as for all crops. For understanding the effect of ensiling on quality of each plant must be investigate. For this reasons goals of this experiment was investigation on various methods of utilization of CR for finishing male calves and comparison with alfalfa.

Abstract A description is provided for Tapesia evilescens, a saprobe on dead stems of grasses, particularly the common reed (Phragmites australis). Some information on its substrata, habitat, dispersal and transmission and conservation status is given, along with details of its geographical distribution (Europe (Finland, Netherlands, Ukraine, UK)).

Reed Bed

In this study an attempt has been made to estimate the vitality of the common reed (Phragmites australis) grown in the constructed wetland. The efficiency of solar radiation uptake of leaves was measured and terminal electron transport system (ETS) activity of roots was determined in specimens from different locations on the reed bed. The results showed that photochemical efficiency of PS II, expressed as FvFm ratio, was higher in plants growing in the middle of the well established stand, but it was lower in plants growing in the area permanently flooded with leachate, where plants were significantly lower. Potential respiration of roots on the vertical rhizome decreases with depth, while it showed slight variations when determined at the same depth, but in plants from different locations within three beds of RBTS.
