Abstract

Restoration techniques for riparian habitats in the Southwest are being widely studied. Efforts for natural regrowth of native species are a high priority. Techniques for native cottonwood (Populus fremontii) regeneration are being investigated in the Rio Grande Valley State Park. Experimentation with flooding of riparian zones using different techniques is beginning to show promising results.
