Phragmites australis (common reed) is one of the most extensively distributed emergent plant species in the world. This plant has been used for phytoremediation of different types of wastewater, soil, and sediments since the 1970s. Published research confirms that P. australis is a great accumulator for different types of nutrients and heavy metals than other aquatic plants. Therefore, a comprehensive review is needed to have a better understanding of the suitability of this plant for removal of different types of nutrients and heavy metals. This review investigates the existing literature on the removal of nutrients and heavy metals from wastewater, soil, and sediment using P. australis. In addition, after phytoremediation, P. australis has the potential to be used for additional benefits such as the production of bioenergy and animal feedstock due to its specific characteristics. Determination of adaptive strategies is vital to reduce the invasive growth of P. australis in the environment and its economic effects. Future research is suggested to better understand the plant's physiology and biochemistry for increasing its pollutant removal efficiency.
芦苇（芦竹）是世界上分布最广泛的挺水植物之一。自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，人们一直将其用于不同类型废水、土壤和沉积物的植物修复。已发表的研究证实，芦苇比其他水生植物更能积累各种营养物质和重金属。因此，需要进行全面的综述，以更好地了解该植物去除各种营养物质和重金属的适宜性。本综述调查了使用芦苇从废水中去除营养物质和重金属的现有文献。此外，在植物修复后，由于芦苇的特殊特性，它有可能用于生产生物能源和动物饲料等其他用途。确定适应性策略对于减少环境中芦苇的入侵生长及其经济影响至关重要。建议进行未来的研究，以更好地了解植物的生理学和生物化学，从而提高其污染物去除效率。
