It should be Phragmites australis no capitalization needed on the second name in binomial system.
The article reads very well and I like it however I'm not liking the [DATA EXPUNGED] thrown in there. That could be easily replaced for a Classified per order of "Dr. X". Minor nitpick but it has gotten to a point a [DATA EXPUNGED] really ruins the reading imho.
The exploration logs add some interesting complementary parts to this article, however they could some work on editing and wording since some parts seem confuse or written inadequately, but critique on those doesn't belong here. I think a small, summary note could help for readers who wouldn't fancy reading them in detail, but that's just a suggestion.
Very solid article and I enjoyed it. Good work.
