Ehleringer, James R.; Bush, Sarah Elizabeth; Solomon, Douglas Kip | Ecohydrology in a Colorado River riparian forest: implications for the decline of Populus fremontii | Populus fremontii (Fremont cottonwood) was once a dominant species in desert riparian forests but has been increasingly replaced by the exotic invasive Tamarix ramosissima (saltcedar). Interspecific competition, reduced flooding frequency, and increased salinity have been implicated in the widespre... | Populus fremontii; Decline; Colorado River; Utah; Invasive species; Riparian; Salinity; Sap flow; Tamarix ramosissima; Transpiration | 2005 |

Coley, Phyllis D.; Kursar, Thomas A. | Effects of weather on fungal abundance and richness among 25 communities in the Intermountain West | Because moisture and temperature influence the growth of fungi, characterizing weather conditions favorable for fungi may be used to predict the abundance and richness of fungi in habitats with different climate conditions. To estimate habitat favorability to fungi, we examined the relationship of f... | Intermountain West; Utah; Microclimate; Fungal prevalence | 2002 |
