Constraints on, and Opportunities for, Riparian Willow Establishment, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Cooper DJ, Dickens J, Gage E. 2003. Constraints on, and Opportunities for, Riparian Willow Establishment, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
During 1999 and 2000 field studies were conducted to investigate the factors constraining willow establishment in Moraine ane Horseshoe Parks in ROMO, and to conceptualize opportunities for future willow establishment in these areas. These efforts were focused on the processes that control willow seedling establishment on the time scale of years to decades. These studies fill gaps in the knowledgte on willow life history, seedling establishment, relationship to geomorphic and hydrologic patterns and processes, and potential for restoration in the current environment of Moraine and Horseshoe Parks.
