TL;DR: The literature on saltcedar control, water use, wildlife use, and riparian restoration is reviewed to provide resource managers, researchers, and policy-makers with a balanced summary of the state of the science.

TL;DR: The presence of macroalgae was associated with greater total densities and taxon richness of invertebrates, and nearly all taxa responded significantly to algal removal on at least some dates, and natural disturbances will indirectly affect invertebrate distributions and abundances by affecting the distributions and abundance of Macroalgae.

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that rough texture reduces algal mortality from invertebrate grazers and from winter storms finds that substrate heterogeneity provides refuges from herbivory and disturbance for establishing macroalgae and that Nostoc was little affected by grazing, but was greatly reduced by disturbance.

TL;DR: The effects of fire on mediterranean streams (med-streams) are associated with increased runoff and erosion from severely burned landscapes during storms, particularly the first intense rains as mentioned in this paper, and increased inputs of water, solutes, nutrients, sediment, organic matter, and ash to streams after fires are usually observed for months to up to 4 years.

TL;DR: Experimental results from a stream in central Panama support the hypothesis that vertical variation in algal standing crops arises when grazing fishes avoid predators in shallow water by forgoing food resources that accumulate there.
