Removing invasive tamarisks from Dolores River. Worker from the Bureau of Land Management cutting down invasive tamarisk (salt cedar, Tamarix sp.) plants from the banks of the Dolores River, Gateway, Colorado, USA. Tamarisks are native to drier areas of Eurasia and Africa and are an invasive alien species in the US. They are a major problem in the American southwest, where they form dense riverbank stands that consume large quantities of scarce water and increase the salinity of the soil. | |
