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

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.
