Summary
| Description |
Phragmites australis subsp. australis Afrikaans: 'n Uitheemse subspesie van fluitjiesriet is ’n lewenskragtige indringer in die Groot Mere-bekken, waar dit verwoesting saai. Volgens David Ullrich van GLSLCI verdring dit inheemse vleilandspesies en bedreig die vleilande se vermoë om die water natuurlik te suiwer, plaaslike oorstromings te verminder en vis en wild te lok. Meer as 130 Amerikaanse en Kanadese burgemeesters en plaaslike amptenare werk aan die beskerming en herstel van die Groot Mere en Sint-Laurensrivier. Deur van NASA-satellietdata soos MODIS gebruik te maak, het wetenskaplikes by die Michigan Tech Research Institute in Ann Arbor 'n risikokaart geskep wat aandui waar die indringerriet waarskynlik volgende sal groei. Dit sal plaaslike besture bystaan met beplanning en beleid om die verspreiding daarvan te bekamp.
Deutsch: Ein invasives Schilfrohr richtet rund um die Großen Seen verheerende Schäden an, verdrängt einheimische Feuchtgebietsarten und gefährdet die Fähigkeit der Feuchtgebiete, das Wasser auf natürliche Weise zu reinigen, lokale Überschwemmungen zu reduzieren und Fische und Wildtiere anzulocken. Um gefährdete Gebiete ins Visier zu nehmen und lokale Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Ausbreitung dieser invasiven Art zu unterstützen, arbeiten mehr als 130 Bürgermeister der Vereinigten Staaten und Kanadas sowie lokale Beamte daran, den Schutz und die Wiederherstellung der Großen Seen und des Sankt-Lorenz-Stroms voranzutreiben. Mithilfe von NASA-Satellitendaten wie MODIS erstellten Wissenschaftler des Michigan Tech Research Institute in Ann Arbor eine Risikokarte, die darauf basiert, wo das invasive Schilfrohr voraussichtlich als nächstes wachsen würde, und hilft den lokalen Regierungen dabei, Richtlinien zu erlassen, um seine Ausbreitung zu planen und zu stoppen.
English: An invasive reed is wreaking havoc around the Great Lakes. According to David Ullrich of GLSLCI it is crowding out native wetland species and threatening the wetlands’ ability to naturally clean the water, reduce local flooding, and attract fish and wildlife. To target areas at risk and support local policies fighting the spread of this invasive species, more than 130 United States and Canadian mayors and local officials working to advance the protection and restoration of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. Using NASA satellite data like MODIS, scientists at the Michigan Tech Research Institute in Ann Arbor created a risk map based on where the invasive reed would likely grow next, helping local governments enact policies to plan for and stop its spread.
