five years of vegetation changes following riparian restoration in new mexico
DESCRIPTION
Presentation to the New Mexico Native Plant Society Annual Meeting, 2013. From 2007-2009 riparian restoration work on impaired waterways in New Mexico included invasive species removal and native species plantings. After five years, I revisit a selection of restored streams to evaluate seedling survival and restoration success.TRANSCRIPT
