Coyote Willow Pole Plantings in Ephemeral Streams of Southwest New Mexico
Pole plantings are a strategy for stabilizing streambanks along perennially flowing watercourses because the high water table adjacent to these streams allows for successful establishment. In the Southwestern United States, however, such live water is uncommon, though high water flow events during the monsoon season can lead to severe erosion. This study tested strategies at the C Bar Ranch in New Mexico for establishing pole plantings of coyote willow (Salix exigua Nutt.) to disrupt waterflow and prevent soil loss during high-flow water events.
