A COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS OF ACTIONS TO REDUCE STREAM TEMPERATURE AT THE WATERSHED SCALE [PDF]

open access: yes
A cost-effectiveness frontier is developed to compare economic and environmental tradeoffs associated with planting a riparian buffer to reduce stream temperature at the watershed scale.

Evaluating Suitability for Surface Managed Aquifer Recharge to Enhance Dry‐Season Stream Flows

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Identifying suitable sites for surface MAR projects to enhance dry‐season stream flow requires evaluating the geology of the aquifer, depth to groundwater, soil permeability, topographic slope, the distance between the infiltration basin and receiving surface water, and other factors.

Incorporating light pollution into projections of the future distribution of Aspisoma sticticum Gemminger, 1870 under climate change in South America

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Climate‐only models predict severe habitat contractions by 2100, especially in the Amazon, Cerrado and Caatinga, while southern and coastal Atlantic Forest areas remain refugial. Including artificial light at night increased projected stability and apparent suitability gains, especially in central and eastern South America.

Short-Term Effects of Timber Harvest on Abundance, Territory Characteristics, and Pairing Success of Ovenbirds in Riparian Buffer Strips

open access: yes, 2000
In managed forests, riparian buffer strips typically are maintained to protect water quality. If properly designed, buffer strips also may act as wildlife reserves.

The influence of connectivity in forest patches, and riparian vegetation width on stream macroinvertebrate fauna

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
We assessed two dimensions of stream connectivity: longitudinal (between forest patches along the stream) and lateral (riparian vegetation), using macroinvertebrate assemblages as bioindicators.

Monarch Habitat as a Component of Multifunctional Landscape Restoration Using Continuous Riparian Buffers

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Stabilizing the eastern, migratory population of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) is expected to require substantial habitat restoration on agricultural land in their core breeding area, the Upper Midwestern United States.

Dragonfly taxonomic and functional responses to urbanized streams in southeastern Europe, with management recommendations

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives turnover in dragonfly species composition, traits, and habitat conservation value. Natural stream sections have a higher conservation value (higher DBI) due to presence of specialists. Properly managed urban streams can support diverse dragonfly assemblages.

Nonpoint Source Abatement Costs in the Kentucky River Watershed [PDF]

open access: yes
A growing share of water pollution in the U.S. can be attributed to nonpoint sources (USEPA 2002). Some of this trend can be attributed to declining point source (PS) emissions as a result of regulation under the Clean Water Act (CWA).

Riparian Buffer Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Riparian Buffer Sy stems S treams lined with tress, shrubs, grasses, and abundant wildlife contribute to more than a beautiful landscape. Restora-tion of the land's natural riparian buffer sys-tem can improve water quality. prevent soil erosion, and
