Northwestern United States could face more tamarisk invasion by century's
end
Models show habitat of the aggressive invasive plant likely will expand as
temperature warms
If the future warming trends that scientists have projected are realized,
one of the country's most aggressive exotic plants will have the potential
to invade more U.S. land area, according to a new study published in the
current issue of the journal Invasive Plant Science and Management. The
study found that tamarisk.prevalent today in some parts of the region, but
generally limited to warm and dry environments.could expand its range into
currently uninvaded areas.
