The National Park Service is offering a grant to assess floodplain vegetation and stream channel conditions at Canyon de Chelly National Monument. The project aims to evaluate native plant communities, stream channel form, and exotic plant re-invasion in specific study sites. The research will analyze changes in channel width, depth, and vegetation cover since 2008, and examine the regrowth of tamarisk, Russian olive, and other exotic plants in treatment areas. This grant opportunity closes on June 19, 2019.

| Description: | Canyon de Chelly National Monument (CACH) has a critical need to evaluate the condition of floodplain vegetation and stream channel form to better manage native plant communities, road-stream crossings, and balance the needs of canyon residents for the long-term goal of preserving cultural and ecological resources in the canyon.We will use existing data sets collected in 2005-2008 and new 2019 field data to assess the condition of the stream channel, native vegetation, and re-invasion of exotic plants in four exotic plant removal study sites (#3-6 in Figure 2) established in 2005. We will address the following questions: 1. How has the channel changed (narrowed or widened, incised or aggraded) in treatment areas since 2008? 2. How has the vegetation changed in the treatment plots, especially native plant cover? 3. Have tamarisk and Russian olive reinvaded areas where they were removed? Have other exotic plants invaded the treatment areas? |
