Abstract	In the past fifty years, riparian values have been recognized and documented, and the science of riparian ecology developed steadily. Volume 1 covers the more mesic northwestern United States to the arid Southwest and Mexico. The authors review the origins of riparian science in the western United States, document what is currently known about riparian ecosystems, and project future needs. Topics include: interactions with fire, climate change, and declining water; effects from exotic species; unintended consequences of biological control; the role of small mammals; watershed response to beavers; watershed and riparian changes; changes below large dams; water birds of the Colorado River Delta; and terrestrial vertebrates of mesquite bosques. Appendices and references chronicle the field’s literature, authors, "riparian pioneers," and conferences.
	Volume 2 expands upon two important recent developments: global climate change and impacts of introduced tamarisk leaf beetles (Diorhabda spp.) in the American West. It also covers the losses of riparian habitat, including extirpation of a large number of mesquite bosques (woodlands) in the Southwest; the restoration of riparian ecosystems damaged by anthropogenic activities; the importance of a watershed; and the importance of riparian ecosystems to recreation. The combination of volumes 1 and 2 examines the evolving understanding of scientific implications and anthropogenic threats to those ecosystems since Caucasian settlement of the region to present.
