Selection, Production, and Use of Riparian Plant Materials for the Western United States

Riparian plantings are established to restore native plant communities, stabilize streambanks and shorelines, restore fish and wildlife habitat, improve surface and groundwater quality, and control weedy phreatophytes. Native planting stock may be collected from local sources or provided by commercial nurseries. Source guidelines are based on relatively narrow target areas inferred from riparian site classifications and constrained by limited knowledge of the genetic structure of plant populations. Riparian plant cultivars are developed with specific structural attributes. Nurseries should emphasize production of large plant materials, such as stumps and poles.
