         General Impact

    Arundo donax displaces native riparian vegetation and provides poor habitat for terrestrial insects and wildlife. It traps sediments and narrows flood channels, leading to erosion and overbank flooding. The giant reed also promotes wildfire, and its debris blocks streamflow and damages bridges. It may also reduce water availablility through high evapotranspiration.
