(2) the City of Los Angeles has adopted a “One Water” approach to manage water holistically (City of Los Angeles 2018); (3) the LA River is altered for flood prevention (nearly entirely channelized) and wastewater makes up the majority of flow during the dry season; and (4) several ...
As a result, salt marshes, tidal flats, and rock heaths are transforming into densely covered areas dominated by reeds, cattails, and willows. Climate change has also affected the production of the berries on which short necks feed in the fall: “There are changes in the growth of the ...
Plant community in constructed wetlands may display considerable floral diversity, although over time, dominance of fast-growing reeds and cattails is to be expected in temperate climates due to their environmental resilience, competitive vegetative growth, and reproduction (Brodie 1991; Maine et al. ...
Female red wing blackbirds are usually elusive, hiding out in what’s left of last year’s cattails where they build their nests, but this year they’ve been bold and haven’t seemed to have a problem showing themselves. A friend says this is because it’s mating season but the knowledge...
