Soil CO₂ emissions in cropland with fodder maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) with and without riparian buffer strips of differing vegetation. [PDF]

Agrofor Syst, 2022
Vegetated land areas play a significant role in determining the fate of carbon (C) in the global C cycle. Riparian buffer vegetation is primarily implemented for water quality purposes as they attenuate pollutants from immediately adjacent croplands ...

Impacts of different vegetation in riparian buffer strips on runoff and sediment loss. [PDF]

Hydrol Process, 2022
Buffer strips continue to feature in the management of agricultural runoff and water pollution in many countries. Existing research has explored their efficacy for reducing environmental problems in different geoclimatic settings but, the evidence on the

Do NO, N₂O, N₂ and CO₂ fluxes differ in soils sourced from cropland and varying riparian buffer vegetation? An incubation study. [PDF]

Soil Use Manag, 2023
Riparian buffers are expedient interventions for water quality functions in agricultural landscapes. However, the choice of vegetation and management affects soil microbial communities, which in turn affect nutrient cycling and the production and ...

Soil methane (CH4) fluxes in cropland with permanent pasture and riparian buffer strips with different vegetation [PDF]

, 2021
Background Methane (CH4) has a global warming potential (GWP) 28 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2) over a 100-year horizon. Riparian buffers strips are widely implemented for their water quality protection functions along agricultural land, but ...

Seasonality of Phosphorus and Nitrate Retention in Riparian Buffers [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2019
Measurement of the retention of dissolved nutrients in riparian areas with snowmelt runoff are much less common than for rainfall runoff, but low rates of uptake or the release of nutrients with snowmelt have been attributed to frozen soils, lower biotic uptake, and release of nutrients from senesced vegetation.

Ecological and Structural Characteristics of Riparian Forest in Omo Biosphere Reserve

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2020
An investigation on the structural characteristics of the riparian forest in Omo Biosphere Reserve was carried out. The structure was analyzed  through diameter class distribution, basal area and breast height.

Assessment of BMPs by Estimating Hydrologic and Water Quality Outputs Using SWAT in Yazoo River Watershed

Agriculture, 2022
Water quality is a global concern; it is due to point and non-point source pollution. Non-point sources for pollution are mainly runoff from Agricultural and forest. To decrease nutrient inputs, management practices are implemented.

A novel method to determine buffer strip effectiveness on deep soils [PDF]

, 2012
Unfertilized buffer strips (BS) generally improve surface water quality. High buffer strip effectiveness (BSE) has been reported for sloping shallow aquifers, but experimental data for plain landscapes with deeply permeable soils is lacking.
