Occurrence, Persistence, and Expansion of Saltcedar (Tamarix Spp.) Populations in the Great Plains of Montana
—Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.), a shrub native to Eurasia, is associated with major alterations to wetland and riparian systems in the southwestern United States. Since the 1960s saltcedar has been naturalized in northern states of the U.S. where its growth potential and impacts are not well known. Here, we describe the occurrence, age, size, and relative cover of saltcedar populations in several ri...
متن کاملBowen Ratio Estimates of Evapotranspiration for Tamarix Ramosissima Stands on the Virgin River in Southern Nevada
A Bowen ratio energy balance was conducted over a Tamarix ramosissima (saltcedar) stand growing in a riparian corridor along the Virgin River in southern Nevada. Measurements in two separate years were compared and contrasted on the basis of changes in growing conditions. In 1994, a drought year, record high temperatures, dry winds, and a falling water table caused partial wilt of outer smaller...
متن کاملTamarix transpiration along a semiarid river has negligible impact on water resources
The proliferation of saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) along regulated rivers in the western United States has transformed riparian plant communities. It is commonly assumed that transpiration by these alien plants has led to large losses of water that would otherwise contribute to streamflow. Control of saltcedar, therefore, has been considered a viable strategy for conserving water and increasing stre...
متن کاملVegetative Response of Saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.) to Photoperiod.
Saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.) stem cuttings responded vegetatively to various photoperiods of 11-, 14-, 17-, and 8 + 1-hour duration. Total stem length, average stem length, cuticle thickness, and xylem vessel member outside diameter were significantly maximal under a 14-hour photoperiod and less under photoperiods above and below this level. Numbers of stems and roots produced were signi...
