Abstract

Restoration Notes Restoration Notes have been a distinguishing feature of Ecological Restoration for more than 25 years. This section is geared toward introducing innovative research, tools, technologies, programs, and ideas, as well as providing short-term research results and updates on ongoing efforts. Please direct submissions and inquiries to the editorial staff (ERjournal@ aesop.rutgers.edu). Researchers have tested an array of methods to determine Riparian Soil Seed Banks and the their effectiveness on controlling giant reed with varying Potential for Passive Restoration of Giant success. Current leading methods for control include fire, Reed Infested Areas in Webb County, herbicide treatments (Spencer et. al 2008), mechanical removal, and utilizing biological control agents from giant Texas reed’s native habitat which ranges from the Mediterranean Amede Rubio (corresponding author: Department of Biology to Southern Asia (Goolsby et al. 2009). and Chemistry, Texas A&M International University 5201 There is little information on the potential for passive University Blvd., Laredo, TX, amede.rubio@tamiu.edu), restoration in riparian areas where giant reed has been Alexis E.
