Cost of riparian buffer zones: A comparison of hydrologically adapted site‐specific riparian buffers with traditional fixed widths [PDF]

Water Resources Research, 2016
AbstractTraditional approaches aiming at protecting surface waters from the negative impacts of forestry often focus on retaining fixed width buffer zones around waterways. While this method is relatively simple to design and implement, it has been criticized for ignoring the spatial heterogeneity of biogeochemical processes and biodiversity in the ...

A standardised method for measuring in situ denitrification in shallow aquifers: numerical validation and measurements in riparian wetlands [PDF]

, 2003
A tracer test to examine in situ denitrification in shallow groundwater by a piezometer with a packer system used bromide as a tracer of dilution and acetylene (10%) to block the denitrification process at the nitrous oxide stage.

Spatial and temporal analysis of lake sedimentation under reforestation

Water Science, 2015
Spatial and temporal land cover changes can reduce or accelerate lake sedimentation. This study was conducted to examine morphometry and bathymetry, and the long-term changes (over 75 years) in sedimentation in the Lake Issaqueena reservoir, South ...

Situation analysis of socio environmental aspects of non point source water pollution in intensively cultivated areas of Nuwara Eliya

Tropical Agricultural Research, 2017
Nonpoint source water pollution is one of the most critical pollution problems all over the world. This study was conducted to assess the status of water pollution, prevention and management and to investigate the awareness of farmers about water quality,

Environmental Statecraft, Fragmented Authoritarianism, and Technocratic Governance: The Structure and Agency of China's Local Environmental Politics

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Local environmental politics in China is often said to be dominated by state‐controlled modes of multi‐level governance. However, top‐down governance is embedded within and transformed by local politics, adding complexity to governance practices and environmental outcomes.

Nitrogen dynamics in the shallow groundwater of a riparian wetland zone of the Garonne, SW France: nitrate inputs, bacterial densities, organic matter supply and denitrification measurements [PDF]

, 2003
This study highlights the role of interactions between surface and sub-surface water of the riparian zone of a large river (the Garonne, SW France). Information is given about the role of surface water in supplying Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC ) to the

Benefits of riparian forest for the aquatic ecosystem assessed at a large geographic scale

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2013
Claimed benefits of riparian forest cover for the aquatic ecosystem include purification, thermal control, organic matter input and habitat provision, which may improve physicochemical and biotic quality. However, these beneficial effects might be flawed
