Riparian vegetation: Degradation, alien plant invasions, and restoration prospects
- D. M. Richardson, P. Holmes, +5 authors R. Hobbs
- Geography
- 2007
Rivers are conduits for materials and energy; this, the frequent and intense disturbances that these systems experience, and their narrow, linear nature, create problems for conservation of… Expand
Invasiveness in wetland plants in temperate North America
- S. Galatowitsch, N. Anderson, P. Ascher
- Biology
- Wetlands
- 1 December 1999
The spread of invasive taxa, includingLythrum salicaria, Typha × glauca, Myriophyllum spicatum, Phalaris arundinacea, andPhragmites australis, has dramatically changed the vegetation of many wetlands… Expand
Effects of Phalaris arundinacea and nitrate-N addition on the establishment of wetland plant communities
- Emily K. Green, S. Galatowitsch
- Biology
- 1 February 2002
1. Nutrient enrichment may adversely impact plant species richness in wetlands and enhance their susceptibility to colonization and dominance by invasive species. For North American prairie wetlands,… Expand
Consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation for wetland amphibian assemblages
- R. M. Lehtinen, S. Galatowitsch, J. R. Tester
- Geography
- Wetlands
- 1 March 1999
Landscape-level variables operating at multiple spatial scales likely influence wetland amphibian assemblages but have not been investigated in detail. We examined the significance of habitat loss… Expand
Anthropogenic effects on the biodiversity of riparian wetlands of a northern temperate landscape
- D. M. Mensing, S. Galatowitsch, J. R. Tester
- Geography
- 1 August 1998
Land uses such as forestry and agriculture are presumed to degrade the biodiversity of riparian wetlands in the northern temperate regions of the United States. In order to improve land use decision… Expand
The Vegetation of Wet Meadows in Relation to Their Land-use
- S. Galatowitsch, D. Whited, R. M. Lehtinen, Jason Husveth, K. Schik
- Environmental Science
- 2000
Wetland biomonitoring approaches are needed to determine when changes in response to stressors are occurring and to predict the consequences of proposed land-use changes. These approaches require an… Expand
Riparian scrub recovery after clearing of invasive alien trees in headwater streams of the Western Cape, South Africa
- S. Galatowitsch, D. M. Richardson
- Geography
- 1 April 2005
Headwater rivers are the predominant kind of aquatic ecosystem in South Africa’s Cape Floristic Region. Invasion by alien woody taxa (especially Acacia longifolia and Acacia mearnsii) have altered… Expand
Regional climate change adaptation strategies for biodiversity conservation in a midcontinental region of North America
- S. Galatowitsch, L. Frelich, Laura Phillips-Mao
- Geography
- 1 October 2009
Scenario planning should be an effective tool for developing responses to climate change but will depend on ecological assessments of broad enough scope to support decision-making. Using climate… Expand
Carbon Offsets as Ecological Restorations
- S. Galatowitsch
- Business
- 1 September 2009
The explosive growth of carbon markets is creating unprecedented opportunities for landscape-scale restoration worldwide. Most mandatory and voluntary greenhouse gas reduction programs allow use of… Expand
Differences in wetland plant community establishment with additions of nitrate-N and invasive species (Phalaris arundinacea and Typha ×glauca)
- Emily K. Green, S. Galatowitsch
- Biology
- 1 February 2001
Restored prairie pothole wetlands in North America are often enriched by nitrate-N (NO3-N) that has been lost from surrounding agricultural systems. In addition, these wetlands are increasingly… Expand
