The study aimed to see if controlling an invasive plant called common reed could help native plants grow back in tidal wetlands. After three years of treatment, the common reed decreased in number, but wasn't completely gone. However, native plants increased in the treated areas, and the plant community started to look more like areas without the invasive plant. Smaller areas showed more progress than larger ones. This shows that controlling invasive plants can help native plants come back, especially in smaller areas. Monitoring the whole plant community after controlling invasive plants can help plan better strategies for managing them.
