The number and diversity of invasive exotic species in riparian ecosystems is increasing worldwide. [1] Riparian zones may be particularly vulnerable to invasion due to frequent habitat disturbance (both natural and anthropogenic) and the efficiency of rivers and streams in dispersing propagules.

Prior to restoration, this area was deteriorated and overrun with trash and invasive vegetation, in particular salt cedar and giant reeds. Large expanses of non-native species were bulldozed from the area, and others were manually hoed out. Brush hogs, masticators, and chemical herbicides continue to be used to keep the invasive species under ...
The last tsunami warning in the San Francisco Bay Area followed a 9.1 earthquake in Tohoku, Japan that sparked a major nuclear accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011 ...

The camouflaged animal blends in with the murky river water and surrounding rocks, researchers said.
The group was underwater when a 7.2 magnitude earthquake and string of aftershocks shook the country, the videographer said. Watch scuba divers grab onto reef as swarm of underwater earthquakes ...
The existence of the Well was almost unknown to European Americans before the publishing of Handbook to Arizona by Richard J. Hinton in 1878. In 1968, Montezuma Well was the subject of the first ever underwater archaeological survey to take place in a federally managed park, led by archaeologist George R Fischer .
