Cottonwoods were found to be competitively superior to saltcedar when flooding allowed seeds of both species to cogerminate.

Unlike giant reed, the saltcedar has deeper roots, not only making it more difficult to remove but allowing it to access and use up deep groundwater.

However, the lack of flooding caused by altered hydrology creates more favorable conditions for the germination of saltcedar over cottonwoods.

The objectives of the ambitious restoration project are to control exotic plants, particularly the phreatophyte Saltcedar - Tamarix (primarily Tamarix ramosissima and T. parviflora), and restoring critical desert California native plant community "structural elements" for a functioning flora and fauna habitat.

Studies have also shown that decreases in groundwater levels may favor the invasion and persistence of certain exotic invasive species such as Saltcedar (Tamarix chinensis), which do not appear to show the same degree of physiologic water stress as native species when subjected to lower groundwater levels.

Before the restoration project, the East Wetlands was clogged with salt cedar and other non-native vegetation.

In dry areas, this species prefers salt cedar and mesquite (Rising and Williams 1999).

Salt cedars, brought from Asia in the early 20th century and planted here as ornamental soil stabilizers, still suck precious water out of the river.

However, salt cedar has had a greater effect on water consumption in riparian areas, in some cases even displacing existing mesquite.

At moister places there also willow bushes (Salix) and along lake shores, tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima).

The larvae feed on Tamarix nilotica, Tamarix gallica and Tamarix ramosissima.

However, the invasive species Tamarisk - Tamarix ramosissima and tumbleweed, Tumbling oracle - Atriplex rosea are successful and problematic competitors.

Field collections in Eurasia reveal that the larger tamarisk beetle feeds on at least nine species of tamarisks, including Tamarix ramosissima which is widely invasive in western North America.

The Salt Cedar (Tamarix ramosissima) tree is particularly dangerous to the ecology of the West Wetlands Park due to the salt that is secreted through its leaves which increases the salinity of the surface soil.
