Abstract

The Kings River Conservation District planted over 1200 plants of 19 riparian species in the first of two phases of a riparian revegetation project in the San Joaquin Valley. To date, tree survival rates vary from 17 to 96 percent among species, with an overall rate of 62 percent. Shrub survival averages 57 percent and ranges from 23 to 73 percent. Factors affecting plant survival include soil quality, irrigation technique, climate, topography, weed competition, gopher and beaver depredation, vandalism, maintenance practices, and budget constraints.
