Fire and Invasive Plants in Riparian AreasRiparian areas are susceptible to invasion• Stream networks = corridors for movement of propagules• High resource availability• Periodic flow-related disturbance creates habitat heterogeneity• Human-caused disturbance (roads, flow alteration, grazing,proximity to existing nonnative plant populations)Many riparian areas have been invaded• Non-native woody species are as frequent and abundant asnatives (Tamarisk, Russian olive; Friedman et al, 2005)• Invasive herbaceous species are prevalent along many streams(Magee et al. 2008, Ringold et al. 2008)• Invasives increase after fire (Jackson and Sullivan 2009)
