Saltcedar (Tamarix Chinensis) Seed Production, Seedling Establishment, and Response to Inundation [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
[Introduction] Saltcedar (Tamarix chinensis Lour.) has become established in large =IS around reservoirs and along streams and rivers. notably in the arid Southwest. since its introduction into the United States (Robinson. 1965). At many sites salteedar is the dominant plant in the vegetation, having replaced the native riparian species. Although reasons for the replacement are not fully known, observations indicate that a high rate of seed production and an effective means of dissemination have. in part. led to saltcedar's rapid spread and its domination of many riparian habitats. The plant's ability to survive long periods of inundation and to reinvade as water recedes have probably been additional factors in its spread around reservoirs. We describe in this report quantitative studies of saltcedar seed production and seedling estab• lishment. and the effect of inundation on established plants. Some data on seedling establishment and seed production are also given for native riparian species. 'rhc findings contribute to an understanding of saltcedar's aggressive invasion of waterways.
