TY - JOUR T1 - Enhancement of riparian vegetation following shrub control in Arizona chaparral JF - Journal of Soil and Water Conservation SP - 317 LP - 320 VL - 39 IS - 5 AU - L. F. DeBano AU - J.

Brock Y1 - 1984/09/01 UR - http://www.jswconline.org/content/39/5/317.abstract N2 - The effect of upstream shrub control on the establishment of riparian vegetation was evaluated on a chaparral watershed in central Arizona. After 20 years of increased streamflow and longer duration streamflow, a riparian zone below the watershed treated for shrub control had 7 riparian plants per 100 m2 compared with a nearby, untreated watershed that had 2.3 plants per 100 m2. This increase in riparian vegetation has implications for water quality, wildlife, and water use. ER -
