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 ""goo 606 $aTamarisks$xControl$zWest (U.S.) 606 $aTamarisks$zWest (U.S.) 615 0$aTamarisks$xControl 615 0$aTamarisks 676 $a582.160978 701 $aQuigley$b Martin F$01677282 701 $aSher$b Anna$01677283 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816261703321 996 $aTamarix$94044049 997 $aUNINA
