“…Horton et al (2003) found that saltcedar, willow and cottonwood were all able to extract water from as deep as 4 m on the Bill Williams River, but willow and cottonwood showed decreasing predawn water potential, indicating water stress, with increased depth to groundwater while saltcedar was unaffected. Other studies show that saltcedar can utilize groundwater as deep as 6 m (Horton and Campbell, 1974). Mesquites can extract water from 10 m (Scott et al, 2004) or deeper (Canadell et al, 1996).…”

“…Baum (I967) lists three species as being common or naturalized in the southwest, T. Parviflora, T. chinensis, and T. ramosissima, but states that the last two are very similar and may very possibly hybridize. After a taxonomic study of live specimens collected in the southwestern United States and grown under controlled conditions, Horton and Campbell (1974) concluded that the variations are not significant or constant enough to warrant species differentiation and propose assigning the name 72.…”

/ Because of the interdisciplinary requirements of studies of river-floodplain systems, development of this field in the United States has been slow, and much information needed for watershed and river-basin planning is not available. This is particularly true in the southwestern United States, where study has been further complicated within the last 50 years by the introduction and spread of saltcedar (Tamarix chinensis)which has occurred simultaneously with other independently generated environmental changes.The spread of saltcedar has been aided both by purposeful planting and by a fortuitous combination of events that has weakened the native ecosystem at the time that seeds ot the new species have been made available, events that possibly include changes in such environmental parameters as flood frequency, channel stability, the season of the peak annual flood, water temperature and salinity, and sediment grain size. Careful research is needed to unravel and understand the network of relationships involved.Phenomena are arranged in chains of necessary sequence .... If we examine any link of the chain, we find it has more than one antecedent and more than one consequent .... Antecedent and consequent relations are therefore not merely linear, but constitute a plexus; and this plexus pervades nature. (Gilbert, 1886, p. 285-286).

“…; Tamaricaceane), also known as saltcedar, is a shrub introduced to the United States from Asia for use as an ornamental and for erosion prevention of streambanks (Baum, 1976). Chinese tamarisk is an invader of riparian sites in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico where it forms dense, low thickets that displace native vegetation, impede water flow, increase sedimentation, use excessive water, and increase soil salinity (Horton and Campbell, 1974;Deloach, 1990).…”

This paper reviews the application of aerial photography, airborne videography, and satellite imagery for distinguishing brush and weed species on rangeland and other wildland areas in the western United States. Ground reflectance measurements are used to determine the spectral characteristics of plant species. Season is an important variable for detecting many species because their reflectance varies at different times of the year and many species are distinguishable only when in a specific phenological stage. Computer image analyses are used to quantify weed and brush infestations, thus providing area estimates of noxious plant populations on rangelands. The integration of videography with global positioning system and geographic information system technologies is demonstrated. Plant species addressed include silverleaf sunflower (Helianthus arqophyllus). Texas lantana (Lantana hórrida), false broomweed (Ericameria austrotexana). broom snakeweed (Gutierrezia sarothrae). spiny aster (Aster spinosus). blackbrush (Acacia rigidula). huisache (Acacia farnesiana). Mexican palo-verde (Parkinsonia aculeata). common goldenweed (Isocoma coronopifolia). Drummond goldenweed (Isocoma drummondii). Chinese tamarisk (Tamarix chinensis), pricklypear (Opuntia lindheimeri). leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula). Big Bend locoweed (Astragalus mollissimus). Wooton locoweed (Astragalus wootoni). sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia). and shin oak (Ouercus
