Tamarix is a natural resource on which the communities depend for fuelwood, tools, and basket making.
Tamarix is a unique tree species in that it lives up to 100 years in both waterlogged and saline soils, making it an ideal species to reverse environmental degradation.
Under natural conditions, Tamarix disperses seeds through floodwater during the summer months, and this natural method was employed to regenerate the species in large areas by controlling and directing water flow from floods.

(Tamarix is diploid, so a single plant contains two copies, or haplotypes, of the genetic sequence: these may or may not be identical.) The nucleotide sequence data come from an intron of the PepC nuclear gene and are therefore assumed not to experience direct natural selection.

 ARS | Publication request: Biological Control of Saltcedar (Tamarix: Tamaricaceae) in the United States Could Be ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Interpretive Summary: Saltcedars, small shrubs or trees in the plant genus Tamarix were introduced from Asia into the United States in the 1800s but now have escaped cultivation and have invaded the highly valuable riverbottoms and lakeshores in the west.
Successful biological control of saltcedar is expected to increase the water in western rivers that would be available for cities and irrigated agriculture, to reduce saltcedar stands and restore native plant and wildlife communities, to reduce wildfires and lower soil salinity levels, and to improve hunting, fishing, camping and the enjoyment of natural areas.
Here, they are producing enormous environmental and economic losses by using great quantities of scarce groundwater and stream flow and by displacing native plant communities, degrading wildlife habitat, further threatening some 40 species rare and endangered species, increasing soil salinity and wildfires and damaging parks and wildland recreational values.

 Wetlands - Volume 18, Number 4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Tamarix has leaf-level transpiration rates that are comparable to native species, whereas sap-flow rates per unit sapwood area are higher than in natives, suggesting that Tamarix maintains higher leaf area than can natives, probably due to its greater water stress tolerance.
Tamarix desiccates and salinizes floodplains, due to its salt exudation and high transpiration rates, and may also accelerate fire cycles, thus predisposing these ecosystems to further loss of native taxa.
Management efforts aimed at maintaining native forests on regulated rivers and slowing the spread of Tamarix invasion must include at least partial reintroduction of historical flow regimes, which favor the recruitment of native riparian species and reverse long-term desiccation of desert floodplain environments.
