Document Description
This research will provide critical information for refining riparian restoration work in the Central Valley. A set of small-scale experiments will be conducted to test specific hypotheses that will advance riparian restoration techniques. Research will be conducted to assess the potential of reducing herbicide use in preparing restoration sites. Research will be conducted to test hypotheses regarding factors controlling native plant colonization on restoration tracts. Lastly, surveys of sites that were planted in the past will be conducted to assess the effect of a number of factors on long-term vegetation establishment. Gathering information on how the vegetation communities have developed following the cessation of restoration maintenance activities is critical to furthering our ability to calibrate our planting design model to local and landscape-scale conditions. To bring a high caliber of science to the project, TNC will work with research ecologists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, California State University, Chico and CERUS Consulting, Chico.
