Water use strategies between two co‐occurring woody species in a riparian area: Naturally occurring willow,Salix exigua, and expanding juniper,Juniperus scopulorum, in central Montana
Abstract:Juniper expansion across the western United States has the potential to alter watershed hydrology, especially within riparian areas. Given the uncertainties in the ecohydrological response to the expansion, this study focused on examining the water use strategies between two woody species co-occurring in a riparian area in south central Montana-Salix exigua (sandbar willows) and Juniperus scopulorum (rocky mountain junipers)-in order to address three questions: (1) Are junipers and willows using the same soil … Show more
