Nitrate attenuation in a restored river floodplain system: River Cole (Oxfordshire - UK) [PDF]
, 2010 PhDRestoring river-floodplain connectivity has been proposed as an alternative management measure for natural flood defence through the temporary storage of floodwaters and the attenuation of flood peaks downstream.

Distribution of inorganic phosphorus in profiles and particle fractions of Anthrosols across an established riparian buffer and adjacent cropped area at the Dian lake (China) [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2016 Riparian buffers can trap sediment and nutrients sourced from upper cropland, minimizing the eutrophication risk of water quality. This study aimed to investigate the distributions of soil inorganic phosphorus (Pi) forms among profile and particle-size ...

The Characteristics of Riparian Buffer Studies [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Informatics, 2007 Riparian buffers are vegetated areas along water bodies that serve an array of functions, ranging from water quality protection, soil erosion control, to species preservation. The establishment and maintenance of riparian buffers have been an important environmental management practice in the United States since the 1970's.

Breeding Bird Community Continues to Colonize Riparian Buffers Ten Years after Harvest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Riparian ecosystems integrate aquatic and terrestrial communities and often contain unique assemblages of flora and fauna. Retention of forested buffers along riparian habitats is a commonly employed practice to reduce potential negative effects of land ...

The effects of riparian forest management on the freshwater environment: a literature review of best management practice [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2004 National Forests and Water Guidelines require the establishment of riparian buffers to help protect the freshwater environment from disturbance by silvicultural operations on the adjacent land. The main functions of the riparian buffer are considered

Reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus loads to European rivers by riparian buffer zones
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2013 Riparian buffer zones play an important role as nutrient pollution controls for rivers. We provide a harmonized, explorative quantitative and spatially explicit continental assessment of nitrogen and phosphorus potential retention in ...
