“…Many rivers are stressed and over-allocated in order to serve the demands of growing populations through hydro-engineering (Chen et al 2015). In response, societal values have shifted to question this history, and managers have been compelled to modify operations of these control structures to mitigate physical and biological impacts on aquatic ecosystems (Rood et al 2003).…”

“…The complex interactions of physical and biological processes in riverine ecosystems can complicate restoration efforts. An alternate approach is to restore more naturalized instream flow patterns to allow recovery through natural recruitment and growth processes (Molles et al, 1998;Richter & Richter, 2000;Rood et al, 2003). According to Li & Eddleman (2002), traditional engineering methods for streambank stabilization that were once thought successful in the past are being re-evaluated in context of impacts resulting from excessive and rapid urbanization, and from the public awareness of these new environmental issues.…”

“…Rapid invasion of saltcedar in the southwestern United States between 1900 and 1940 has been associated with modifications to natural river flow following the construction of dams that favoured the establishment of saltcedar over native trees dominated by cottonwoods and willows (Brock 1994;DiTomaso 1998). Dam removal could return rivers to normal flow regimes to support colonization and continued reproduction of native trees rather than saltcedar; however, decommissioning of dams is difficult, expensive, and controversial, and may not result in the restoration of native ecosystems Rood et al 2003). Instream flow regulation, such as increasing spring flows in some years during seed dispersal periods of the native trees followed by a slow decline in flows to allow seed germination and establishment, have been used by Rood et al (2000Rood et al ( , 2003 to restore degraded floodplains on the St. Mary's River in southwestern Alberta and the Truckee River in Nevada.…”

These Tamarix species and their hybrids, known collectively as saltcedar, are perennial small trees or shrubs native to Eurasia, and were among the Tamarix species introduced to the United States in 1800s as ornamentals, for plantings in windbreaks, and to stabilize eroding stream banks. They have since escaped and become damaging invasive plants in large areas of the western and Great Plains regions of the United States. They are able to reproduce vigorously by both seed and vegetative propagation, and are persistent and long-lived once established. Ecological problems include hydrologic impacts, displacement of native flora and fauna including endangered species, and excretion of salt, which increases soil salinity. Economic impacts include costs associated with control as well as losses of irrigation and municipal water, flood control costs, and loss of recreational opportunities. Invaded habitats include floodplains, salt flats, marshes, reservoirs, stock watering ponds, and irrigation ditches. Saltcedar is difficult to control and almost impossible to eradicate once established. In 2007, naturalized saltcedar was found near Penticton and at Osoyoos Lake in British Columbia, Canada. It is also currently sold in several Canadian provinces as an ornamental. Ecological niche modelling indicates that large areas of the Canadian Prairies are susceptible to invasion. Hybridization, multiple intentional introductions through garden plantings, natural dispersal from populations in the northern United States, and climate warming will increase the risk and promote the spread of saltcedar in Canada. Key words: Saltcedar, Tamarix ramosissima, Tamarix chinensis, invasive alien plant, weed biology, invasion biology, ecological niche modeling
