The USGS is offering a grant through the Rocky Mountain CESU for research on native and invasive riparian vegetation along western USA rivers, focusing on factors affecting invasive species distribution, responses of ecosystems to invasive species control, and vegetation responses to streamflow changes due to climate change and dam removal. The grant aims to address research and management needs in these areas and is open to CESU partners to apply by the deadline on June 23, 2014.

| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research related to the ecology and dynamics of native and invasive riparian vegetation associated with rivers in western USA. Two areas with particularly strong research and management needs are: 1) understanding factors controlling the distribution and spread of invasive species including Siberian Elm (Ulmus pumila) and Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia), and the response of riparian ecosystems to control or removal of invasive species such as tamarisk (Tamarix spp.); and 2) estimating potential responses or documenting actual responses of riparian vegetation to changes in streamflow and sediment regimes associated with climate change, water management, and dam removal. |
