- Tamarix as Habitat for Birds: Implications for Riparian Restoration in the Southwestern United States (2008, background): “Selective control may be preferable for some objectives because several studies have shown that a small increase in native habitat can have a large positive effect on the bird community (Ellis 1995; Holmes et al. 2003; van Riper et al. 2008).”
- Changing Perceptions of Change: The Role of Scientists in Tamarix and River Management (2009, background): “…nonnative plant species (notably Tamarix) did not negatively affect bird species richness, provided the vegetation was structurally complex. van Riper et al. (2008) found a threshold response, with a sharp increase in bird species when ‘‘native species’’ reached 20–40% cover, reflecting the…”
