Few plant species have had as much combined scientific, public, and
political attention as exotic Tamarix spp (tamarisk, saltcedar),
attracting the public eye in the early 2000's when widespread
drought in the West corresponded to assertions that the introduced
tree used as much water as whole cities. This edited volume
contains 24 essays by 44 authors on the hybrid swarm that
represents invasive tamarisk, including its biology, ecology,
politics, history, management, and even the philosophical and
ethical issues involved with designating a particular species as
"good" or "bad". These works reflect the controversy that has
arisen around its role in our ecosystems and what should (or should
not) be done about it, particularly in the context of the release
of a biological control agent. This is the first text to examine
these many facets of this interesting plant with an engaging and
sometimes surprising collection of written works from the most
important researchers in the field, representing the full spectrum
of scientific perspectives.
