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) …

We review the status of research concerning the links between hydrologic flowpaths and the
biogeochemical environment controlling Nitrogen cycling and transport in near-stream …

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 …

This review considers the role of stream riparian zones in regulating the transport of nitrate
(NO− 3) in groundwater flow from uplands to streams. The current consensus is that most …

Understand the current concept of wetland and methods for identifying, describing,
classifying, and delineating wetlands in the United States with Wetland Indicators-capturing …

Few wetland studies from temperate North America have related either species richness or
plant community composition to any direct measure of nutrient availability, or examined …

There is much interest in biogeochemical processes that occur at the interface between soils
and streams since, at the scale of landscapes, these habitats may function as control points …

We reviewed published studies from primarily glaciated regions in the United States,
Canada, and Europe of the (1) transport of nitrate from terrestrial ecosystems to aquatic …

Plant uptake and denitrification are considered to be the most important processes
responsible for N retention and mitigation in riparian buffers. In many riparian buffers …

Riparian zones have been found to function as “sinks” for nitrate (NO3-), the most common
groundwater pollutant in the US, in many areas. The vast majority of riparian research …
