On the potential for saturated buffers in northwest Ohio to remediate nutrients from agricultural runoff [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Nutrient loading from nonpoint source runoff in the Midwest has emerged as one of the largest threats to water quality as the frequency of harmful algal blooms, hypoxic zones, and issues associated with human-resource interactions have risen abruptly ...

An analysis of the spatial and temporal changes in the Riparian zone of the Berg River in the vicinity of Hermon: implications for governance [PDF]

, 2013
Riparian zones broadly refer to the interface between terrestrial and aquatic systems. It is widely acknowledged that riparian zones provide a number of services including that of an ecological corridor for migration of animal species; a habitat; food ...

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

, 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 ...

Reference information for realizing ecological restoration of river: A case study in the Bongseonsa stream [PDF]

Journal of Ecology and Environment, 2013
In Korea, where the plain land is greatly deficient as a mountainous nation, most of riparian zones were transformed into agricultural fields and urban areas.

Indicator-based vulnerability assessment of riparian zones in Nigeria's Ibadan region due to urban settlement pressure

Environmental Challenges, 2022
Riparian zones are important natural resources that provide a variety of functions and ecosystem services. The vegetation within the riparian zones is gradually being replaced by built-up land with little or no indication of a distinct riparian buffer ...

Denitrification in riparian buffer zones: the role of floodplain hydrology

Hydrological Processes, 1999
The broad purpose of the study described here was to assess the role of denitrification in riparian zones in ameliorating groundwater pollution through nitrate loss, and as a potential source of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere. A suitable riparian zone was identified at Cuddesdon Mill on the River Thame floodplain near Oxford, England.

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.

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

Macroinvertebrates, a forgotten player in the nutrient dynamics of riparian buffer zones

Oecologia
One of the main causes of poor ecological surface water quality in Europe is nutrient enrichment due to agricultural activities. Riparian buffer zones, the vegetative zones between agricultural land and surface waters, have proven to retain and remove nutrients, yet with highly variable effectivity.

Optimal riparian landscape management scale for simultaneous water quality improvement and riverine greenhouse gas emission mitigation

Ecological Indicators
Riverine buffer zones are critical terrestrial-aquatic interfaces for regulating hydrochemistry in watershed landscape management. However, the optimal spatial scale for riverine buffer zone management to synergistically enhance water quality and ...
