Salt cedar is one of the most important invasive species in riparian zones in the western US. Last year we saw extensive stands of tamarisk along the Rio Grande in Big Bend. Jordan said that the large flood last fall removed a lot of these plants so I am interested in seeing how things have changed from one year to the next.
