Imaging of common hip pathologies in runners
Running is an increasingly popular sport and form of exercise. Because of the importance of the hip in the biomechanics involved with running, forming the primary connection between the axial and appendicular ...

Use of 2H and 18O stable isotopes to investigate water sources for different ages of Populus euphratica along the lower Heihe River
Investigation of the water sources used by trees of different ages is essential to formulate a conservation strategy for the riparian tree, P. euphratica. This study addressed the contributions of different poten...

Genetic and environmental influences on leaf phenology and cold hardiness of native and introduced riparian trees
To explore the roles of plasticity and genetic variation in the response to spatial and temporal climate variation, we established a common garden consisting of paired collections of native and introduced ripa...

Erosional Consequence of Saltcedar Control
Removal of nonnative riparian trees is accelerating to conserve water and improve habitat for native species. Widespread control of dominant species, however, can lead to unintended erosion. Helicopter herbici...

Dominance of non-native riparian trees in western USA
Concern about spread of non-native riparian trees in the western USA has led to Congressional proposals to accelerate control efforts. Debate over these proposals is frustrated by limited knowledge of non-nati...

Use of individualistic streamflow-vegetation relations along the Fremont River, Utah, USA to assess impacts of flow alteration on wetland and riparian areas
We analyzed the transverse pattern of vegetation along a reach of the Fremont River in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, USA using models that support both delineation of wetland extent and projection of the c...

Constraints on establishment of plains cottonwood in an urban riparian preserve
Plot sampling and hydraulic modeling were combined to investigate establishment and survival of plains cottonwood along Boulder Creek, an urban stream on the Colorado Plains. We tested the hypothesis that esta...

Water Management and Cottonwood Forest Dynamics Along Prairie Streams
Because riparian ecosystems are the principal natural forest in the prairie, they provide important habitat for many vertebrates (Brinson et al. 1981). Thus changes in the abundance and patterns of riparian fo...

Restoration of riparian forest using irrigation, artificial disturbance, and natural seedfall
In interior western North America, many riparian forests dominated by cottonwood and willow are failing to reproduce downstream of dams. We tested the hypothesis that establishment is now prevented by absence ...
