- Abstract
The article presents information about key first steps to eradicating the weedy plants that dominate riparian systems in urban California. Since the late 1960s there has been a dramatic shift in national and state attitudes toward urban riparian systems. Despite this shift in attitude, urban riparian systems in southern California no longer function as episodic drainage systems like they did prior to the period of rapid urban-suburban development that followed World War II. Historic surveys, for example, reported almost no perennial riparian systems in the southern California area before urban development.
