This report is one of several reports describing the hydrologic studies and associated activities related to the Gila River Phreatophyte Project. The objectives of this project were to study the hydrologic changes resulting from the removal of phreatophytes and substitution of grasses. Numerous methods have been used for removing the phreatophytes, preventing reinfestation, and establishing the replacement vegetation. Varying degrees of success in controlling the phreatophytes have been achieved and varying effects on the hydrology of the site have been observed. This report describes the management of flood-plain vegetation during the period of the hydrologic study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
