Once purported to consume as much water as entire cities, very few plant species have received as much scientific, public, and political discussion and debate as Tamarix. Written by 44 of the field's most prominent scholars and scientists, this volume compiles 25 essays on this fascinating species--its biology, ecology, politics, management, and the ethical issues involved with designating a particular species as ""gooTamarisksControlWest (U.S.)TamarisksWest (U.S.)TamarisksControlTamarisks582.160978Quigley Martin F1677282Sher Anna1677283MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910816261703321Tamarix4044049UNINA
