Tamarisk, a plant that thrives in arid and semi-arid regions, has adapted to blustery conditions by evolving extremely ef- fective and robust anti-erosion surface patterns. However, the details of these unique propert...
Hydrologic alterations of river systems in western North America over the past century have increased soil salinity, contributing to the establishment and spread of an introduced halophytic species, Tamarix ramosissim...
