Riparian vegetated buffer strips in water-quality restoration and stream management
1. A review is presented of the literature on riparian vegetated buffCT strips (VBS) for use in stream-water-quality restoration and limitations associated with their use are discussed. The results are also presented of recent investigations on the effectiveness of a forested and a grass vegetated buffer strip for reducing shallow subsurface inputs of nutrients from agriculture to a stream in c...
متن کاملSurface runoff water quality in a managed three zone riparian buffer.
Managed riparian forest buffers are an important conservation practice but there are little data on the water quality effects of buffer management. We measured surface runoff volumes and nutrient concentrations and loads in a riparian buffer system consisting of (moving down slope from the field) a grass strip, a managed forest, and an unmanaged forest. The managed forest consisted of sections ...
متن کاملEffects of sedimentation on soil nutrient dynamics in riparian forests.
The influence of sedimentation rates on biogeochemistry of riparian forests was studied near ephemeral streams at Fort Benning, GA. Upper reaches of seven ephemeral streams had received varying rates of sedimentation stemming from erosion along unpaved roadways at the military installation. Two reference catchments were also included in the study. Decomposition of foliar litter, microbial C and...
متن کاملWater quality in the upper Han River basin, China: the impacts of land use/land cover in riparian buffer zone.
Vegetated riparian zones adjacent to rivers and streams, can greatly mitigate nutrients, sediment from surface through deposition, absorption and denitrification, yet, human activities primarily land use practices have dramatically reduced the capacity. In this study, 42 sampling sites were selected in the riverine network throughout the upper Han River basin (approximately 95,200 km(2)) of Chi...
متن کاملGround Water Nitrate Removal in Subsoil of Forested and Mowed Riparian Buffer Zones
We studied two similar riparian sites in southern New England and examined ground water nitrate (NO~--N) removal in the subsurface of mowed (i.e., herbaceous) v . forested (i.e., woody) vegetation. Each site consisted of poorly drained, fine to medium sands and contained adjacent areas of mowed and forested vegetation. We dosed mesocosms with bromide and lSN labeled NO~-N amended ground water t...
