Phreatophytes are deeply rooted plants that use groundwater to fulfill parts of their water needs (Thomas, 2014).

Groundwater discharge may also occur through the
phreatophyte vegetation (Prosopis flexuosa woodlands), estimated by Jobbagy et al.

phreatophytes of the Southwestern United States: A Stable Isotope Study.
These diatomites, albeit bare of any perennial vegetation cover, exude small springs of highly saline waters and therefore play a determinant role in the distribution of the neighbouring vegetation almost entirely made of halophytes and
phreatophytes. The outcrops of the Pre-Cordillera rocks, contrary to the Front Cordillera, are almost totally of a sedimentary nature (with, however, some lightly metamorphized elements of various shales and schists) and they may be of various ages, Paleozoic (Cambrian, Ordovician, Gothlandian, Permian), Mesozoic (Triasic, Liasic and Cretaceaous) and Cenozoic (Miocene and Pliocene) in both continental and marine series.
Riparian Vegetation--Vegetation growing along the banks of a small lake, river, swamp, or spring; also known as
phreatophytes, and riverine and riverain vegetation.
The marked seasonal phenology, independent of current soil moisture, would be expected of a deep-rooted
phreatophyte, but as indicated previously, Prosopis in the Jornada Basin is unlikely to have access to the water table, and small shrubs exhibit the same phenological patterns as do large shrubs.
In addition to this total, roughly half a million acre-feet were lost due to
phreatophyte and operational inefficiency losses.
Management of
phreatophyte and riparian vegetation for maximum multiple use values.
Salix tended to exhibit tissue water relations values that were intermediate between those of Tamarix, a salt-tolerant facultative
phreatophyte, and Populus, a mesophytic obligate
phreatophyte.
