Assessing the effectiveness of riparian buffers in protecting biodiversity: a meta-analysis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsRiparian buffers – vegetation strips retained or established along waterways – are mandated in many countries for water and soil protection, yet their role in biodiversity conservation remains unclear.

Imidacloprid Sorption and Transport in Cropland, Grass Buffer, and Riparian Buffer Soils
Vadose Zone Journal, 2018 An understanding of neonicotinoid sorption and transport in soil is critical for determining and mitigating environmental risk associated with the most widely used class of insecticides.

Riparian buffer effectiveness as a function of buffer design and input loads [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2020 AbstractAlthough many agricultural watersheds rely heavily on riparian buffer adoption to meet water quality goals, design and management constraints in current policies create adoption barriers. Based on focus group feedback, we developed a flexible buffer design paradigm that varies buffer width, vegetation, and harvesting.

Application of riparian buffer zone in agricultural non-point source pollution control—A review
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023 Water is an important natural element of our environment, and its management and security are also serious concerns. Agricultural non-point source pollution (NPSP) is one of the major sources of contaminants causing water quality degradation.

Slope stability of streambanks at saturated riparian buffer sites [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Quality, 2021 AbstractSaturated riparian buffers (SRBs) reduce nitrate export from agricultural tile drainage by infusing drainage water into carbon‐rich riparian soils where denitrification and plant uptake occur. The water quality benefits from SRBs are well documented, but uncertainties about their effect on streambank stability have led to design standards that ...

Landowner Decision Making about Riparian Buffers [PDF]
Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2000 AbstractA two-stage model is used to examine a landowner's decision to use riparian buffers. First, the farmer chooses whether to continue farming or to sell the land for development. If the farmer continues farming, then he or she must decide whether or not to plant a buffer.
