This literature review addresses how wide a streamside forest buffer needs to be to protect
water quality, habitat, and biota for small streams (≤~ 100 km2 or~ 5th order watershed) …

Riparian buffers, the vegetated region adjacent to streams and wetlands, are thought to be
effective at intercepting and reducing nitrogen loads entering water bodies. Riparian buffer …

Buffer strips (BSs) are strips interposed between fields and streams that intercept and treat
the waters leaving cropland, and so are a useful tool for reducing agricultural diffuse …

This study aims to investigate the physical and chemical effects of interactions between
groundwater and surface water (GW–SW)—particularly in streams—on nitrate …

Water quality is strongly affected by nitrate inputs in agricultural catchments. Best
Management Practices (BMPs) are alternative practices aiming to mitigate the impacts …

Grasslands are one of the world's major ecosystems groups and over the last century their
use has changed from being volunteer leys, or a resource on non-arable land, to a …

When soil nitrate levels are low, plants suffer nitrogen (N) deficiency but when the levels are
excessive, soil nitrates can pollute surface and subsurface waters. Strategies to reduce the …

Intensive management of riparian zones in the Mid-western United States has long involved
clearing vegetation, straightening meandering streams, and lining earthen banks with stone …

Pollution swap** occurs when a mitigation option introduced to reduce one pollutant
results in an increase in a different pollutant. Although the concept of pollution swap** is …
