Riparian buffer zones as pesticide filters of no-till crops
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2015Several studies have pointed to the potential benefits of riparian vegetation as buffer zones for agricultural and industrial pollutants harmful to aquatic ecosystems. However, other studies have called into question its use as an ecological filter, questioning the widths and conditions for which they are effective as a filter.

Comparison of Designed Channel Restoration and Riparian Buffer Restoration Effects on Riparian Soils
Restoration Ecology, 2013AbstractStream restoration is often employed in efforts to stabilize eroding channel banks. Banks are stabilized through a designed channel approach, which involves grading and armoring of stream banks using heavy machinery, or alternatively through planting of seedlings and saplings to establish forested riparian buffers. We hypothesized that designed

Denitrification potential in three saturated riparian buffers
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2019Abstract Denitrification is an anaerobic process that converts nitrate to predominantly either nitrous oxide or dinitrogen gas while using nitrate as a terminal electron acceptor. The requirements for denitrification include available nitrate and organic carbon, an anaerobic environment, and the appropriate microbial communities.

Hydrological heterogeneity in agricultural riparian buffer strips
Journal of Hydrology, 2017Riparian buffer strips (RBS) may protect surface water and groundwater in agricultural settings, although their effectiveness, observed in field-scale studies, may not extend to a watershed scale. Hydrologically-controlled leaching plots have often shown RBS to be effective at buffering nutrients and pesticides, but uncontrolled field studies have ...

A GIS method for riparian water quality buffer generation
International journal of geographical information systems, 1993Abstract The establishment of vegetated riparian buffers is an important component of best management practice (BMP) for water quality management in the United States. However, standards for buffer width are usually set on a rule-of-thumb basis which is unable to reflect regional variations in physical conditions.

Water protection: Investigation of riparian buffer zones
, 2011 Urban development can be defined as growing population, higher population density and physical sprawl of an urban area. The physical development of urban growth demolishes the natural areas and natural resources.

Wetlands And Riparian Buffer Zones In Landscape Functioning
2007According to the main landscape functions - productional (economic), regulatory (ecological), and social (informative) functions - the role of wetlands and riparian buffers regarding landscape functioning is analysed. An analysis of the literature and authors’ earlier research results and experience has been used to highlight these functions.
