| Abstract | The 185 mile-long Amargosa River, one of only two rivers with perennial flow in the California portion of the Mojave Desert, is fed by an ancient groundwater aquifer. The river provides habitat for hundreds of organisms, including a unique suite of rare, endemic, and imperiled species. In 2009, Congress designated a 26.3-mile stretch of the Amargosa in California as a Wild and Scenic River. This report provides current information about the plants and animals found in this part of the Amargosa River, and describes their dependence on this unique, groundwater-dependent ecosystem. |
