Charting water use by invasive species is topic of Dec. 11 seminarNebraska A new method of determining how much water is being used by invasive plant species along the North Platte River will be the topic of a seminar presented Dec. 11, at the University of Nebraska Panhandle Research and Extension Center. "Satellite Based Energy Balance for Mapping Riparian Evapotranspiration" is the topic of the presentation, which will start at 3:15 p.m. in the Bluestem Room at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Panhandle Research and Extension Center. The public is welcome. Gary Stone, extension educator, based at the Panhandle Center, will describe how UNL researchers, combining data and methods from two previous research projects at the Panhandle Center, have found a method to determine the water use (ET) for several invasive species on the North Platte River: Russian olive, salt cedar (tamarisk) and thistles. The data from this research can potentially help landowners and policy makers with land, water and habitat management decisions on the riparian areas across the state.
