Modeling studies show that P. australis invaded wetlands have an increased GPPa under future CO2 levels and is highest with high N loading. The levels of assimilation could be as high as 3.24 kg C m-2 and would be higher than many other temperate ecosystems.

P. australis sediments have higher denitrification rates than sediments with native plants or unvegetated areas. Sediments also had higher SOM which was weakly correlated with N2 flux. P. australis increased denitrification with spring N2 loading. It also had higher rates after hurricane Florence which was not observed by native species which were higher than ambient or enriched tests. Potential value of this service is $266-$426 ha-1 yr-1.

Phragmites provides food and habitat for some organisms and serves to stabilize soils against erosion. Bobolink and sparrows eat its seed, while numerous insects eat the vegetation. Moreover, many insects, birds (including yellowthroat, marsh wren, salt marsh sparrow, least bittern, red-winged blackbird, and some wading birds), and muskrats use Phragmites as shelter or nest material.
