Hi All,

Can anyone tell me to to what extent reeds either add or remove oxygen from a pond ? I am meeting with a municipal biologist next week who is hell bent on removing ALL the reeds around a pond and her principal arguments are that this must be done because the reeds are "invasive" and deplete oxygen - I thought the roots pumped out oxygen allowing a place for water purifying bacteria to live ?

Thanks in advance,

Claude
