Preferences for riparian buffers

Landscape and Urban Planning, 2009
Abstract Intensive management of riparian zones in the Mid-western United States has long involved clearing vegetation, straightening meandering streams, and lining earthen banks with stone or concrete. Recently, however, scholars have begun to document the ecological costs of such practices.

Riparian Buffer Zones: Functions and Dimensioning

open access: yes, 2015
This article presents a scientific overview of the basic implementation of the principles of ecological engineering in riparian zone management and restoration. Buffer zones transform a pollutant signal as a sink within the catchment area from source emission to surface water bodies.

Riparian buffer strips influence nitrogen losses as nitrous oxide and leached N from upslope permanent pasture [PDF]

open access: yesAgriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2022
Riparian buffer strips can have a significant role in reducing nitrogen (N) transfers from agricultural land to freshwater primarily via denitrification and plant uptake processes, but an unintended trade-off can be elevated nitrous oxide (N2O ...

In Situ Denitrification in Saturated Riparian Buffers

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2019
Excess NO 3 leaching from the agricultural Midwest via tile drainage water has contributed to both local drinking water and national Gulf of Mexico benthic hypoxia concerns.

Effectiveness of Nitrate Reduction in Riparian Buffers: A Riparian Buffer Hydrologic and Biogeochemical Evaluation

2010 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, June 20 - June 23, 2010, 2010
Defining ideal placement of buffers enrolled in NC CREP could maximize stream miles protected, to improve downstream water quality in sensitive streams and estuaries. During the past five years effects on nitrate reduction efficiency of a riparian buffer enrolled in the North Carolina Reserve Enhancement Program (NC CREP) has been evaluated. The buffer

Meta‐Analysis of Nitrogen Removal in Riparian Buffers

Journal of Environmental Quality, 2007
AbstractRiparian buffers, the vegetated region adjacent to streams and wetlands, are thought to be effective at intercepting and reducing nitrogen loads entering water bodies. Riparian buffer width is thought to be positively related to nitrogen removal effectiveness by influencing nitrogen retention or removal.
