Abstract

Climate change is a critical worldwide concern that affects every aspect of existence and all living beings. The study of climate change's impact on invasive species has piqued the interest of researchers worldwide due to the possible ramifications for biodiversity and vulnerable species protection. Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steud. (Poaceae) is regarded as one of the most crucial invaders with a high tolerance for climate change impacts, particularly increased salinity, temperature, and atmospheric CO2, which may alter the surrounding ecosystems, and its uncontrolled spread may result in biodiversity deterioration. Because of its ecological importance and applications, common reed requires sustainable management to reap the majority of its benefits without damaging the environment, which requires a thorough understanding of its behavior in light of climate change. The following review article intends to investigate the response of the common reed to significant climate change factors including as salinity, temperature, and atmospheric CO2 in Egypt, as well as to highlight rehabilitation solutions. Therefore, it is projected that the common reed population would continue to grow under the current climate change key drivers in Egypt, necessitating greater mitigation and adaption procedures from the government, academia, and society.
