Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) in the Northern Great Plains: Seed Ecology and Cultural Considerations
Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) is becoming more commonplace within riparian habitats of the Northern Great Plains (NGP) and has been given “noxious weed” status in many of the states in this region. Little information on the environmental conditions conducive to the establishment of saltcedar specific to …

Vegetation Response After Invasive Tamarix Spp. Removal in the Riparian Zone and Semi-Arid Rangeland Ecosystems
<p>Removal of <em>Tamarix spp</em>. (<em>a.k.a</em>. tamarisk, saltcedar, Athel) invasion is often involved in restoration of Western, riparian habitat; however monitoring of vegetation after removal is often neglected and thus opportunity for adaptive management lost. To address this need, I have …

Quantifying Soil and Groundwater Chemistry in Areas Invaded by Tamarix spp. Along the Middle Rio Grande, New Mexico
<p><em>Tamarix</em> spp. (a.k.a. saltcedar, tamarisk) invasion is considered a major ecological threat at both national and global levels, with supposed impacts on soil and water chemistry. One of the most often cited mechanisms of ecosystem change by <em>Tamarix</em> is through its ability to …

Understanding Patterns and Functional Impacts of an Invasive Tree and Its Biological Control in a Riparian System
… in impact of a biocontrol beetle (Diorhabda spp.) on a dominant invasive tree (Tamarix spp.) in the southwestern United States. I used spatial modeling to uncover underlying structure in the response of Tamarix to Diorhabda. I found evidence for compensatory growth in response to defoliation. …

Influence of Soil Microorganisms on Plant Growth and Fitness
… properties of the local environment. Tamarisk (Tamarix spp.), a shrubby tree native to the Europe, Asia, and Africa, has now invaded 1.6 million acres of land in the western United States. Tamarisk exudes salt from its leaves that accumulates in surrounding soils and can affect the growth of …
