To what extent has invasive riparian vegetation (IRV) treatment reversed channel narrowing and reduced dynamism trends? Paired treated and untreated reaches at 15 sites along 13 rivers were compared before and after treatment using repeat aerial imagery to assess long-term (~10 year) channel change due to treatment on a regional scale across the Southwest U.S. Wieting et al. found that IRV treatment significantly increased channel width and floodplain destruction.

Document intended to guide enhancement of soil functions, hydrology, vegetation and habitat specific to wetlands.

Nagler et al. test the assumption that removing saltcedar (Tamarix spp.) will save water and create environments more favourable to these native species. They compared sap flux measurements of water used by native species in contrast to saltcedar, and compared soil salinity, ground water depth and soil moisture across a gradient of 200–1500 m from the river's edge on a floodplain terrace at Cibola National Wildlife Refuge (CNWR).

Abstract:

The relationships between selenium dosage and tissue concentrations matched only some model predictions. Under these conditions, the bioconcentration factor was a better delimiter between species than the absolute tissue concentration. We provide evidence that despite the apparent cost of uptake, selenium can enhance the growth of hyperaccumulators even when herbivory is not a significant factor. We propose the term "elemental stimulation" for this phenomenon.
