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

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key component limiting groundwater recharge past the root zone in semiarid regions. Vegetation management may alter groundwater recharge if ET is altered due to changes in vegetation type or cover. This study quantifies c

The invasive tree, Tamarix sp., was introduced to the United States in the 1800s to stabilize stream banks. The riparian ecosystem adjacent to the middle Rio Grande River in central New Mexico consists of mature cottonwood (Populus fremontii) gallery

article i nfo Rates of groundwater recharge are especially unpredictable in semiarid regions, partly because of the role that vegetation plays in soil-plant-water dynamics. Understanding how abiotic and biotic variables affect water movement and asso

summary Woody encroachment into karst grasslands and savannas is presumed to reduce water availability and aquifer recharge, in part, because deep roots extract large quantities of water from perennial sources within the fractured bedrock underlying

In order to optimize production, range managers need to understand and manage the spatial distribution of free-ranging herbivores, although this task becomes increasingly difficult as ranching operations diversify to include management of wildlife fo

Saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) is a widespread invasive plant found in riparian corridors and floodplains in 16 western states. In addition to being associated with such problems as increased soil salinity and decreased plant diversity, saltcedar has been

In this paper, we examine the linkage between woody plants and the water budget for three important woody plant communities in Texas, USA: saltcedar (Tamarix chinensis, Tamarix ramosissima), Ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei Buchholz), and mesquite (Pros

Partitioning bulk rainfall into canopy interception, litter interception, stemflow and throughfall allows an estimate of the physical impact of trees on the local hydrologic budget. Despite recognition of the potentially large effect of interception

There is considerable public and political pressure to reduce woody plant cover on rangelands as a means of increasing water yield, despite the lack of studies documenting that such a strategy is effective. In the Texas Hill Country, runoff from the
