Description:Coastal wetlands provide critical habitat for aquatic organisms and important ecosystem services for the terrestrial and aquatic landscapes that they bridge, but increasingly common invasive macrophytes disrupt plant communities, food webs, habitat structure and littoral–pelagic linkages. In Laurentian Great Lakes coastal wetlands, invasive cattails (Typha × glauca and T. angustifolia, hereafter Typha) homogenise ecosystem structure and reduce nearshore dissolved oxygen, and plant, fish and macroinvertebrate diversity. We hypothesised that management treatments which reduce Typha and its abundant litter promote structural heterogeneity and mitigate physicochemical and biodiversity impacts.
