Untitled Document Evaluation of water use change due to riparian vegetation change
Macro Theme Area: River Systems [Project ID: R30]
PI: Russ Scott
CO-PI(s): Travis Huxman, David Goodrich
Basin focus: San Pedro
Specific area in
basin /
field sites: 		Charleston Mesquite Woodland
Lewis Springs Mesquite Shrubland
Lewis Springs Sacaton Grassland
Summary/Goals:
Determine how mesquite encroachment in riparian areas affects ecosystem water use.
Activities and outcomes during past year:
Completed fifth year of water flux monitoring at all three sites.



Plans for the upcoming year:
Continue with flux monitoring with new projects looking at the role of annuals in net ecosystem carbon exchange.
