A Comparison of Alternative Methods for Prioritizing Buffer Placement in Agricultural Watersheds for Water Quality Improvement
Two methods have been developed for identifying locations in watersheds where vegetative buffers would yield greater benefit for reducing agricultural nonpoint source pollution. The methods were compared and contrasted to evaluate the degree to which they identified the same or different locations within a watershed. The two methods included the terrain analysis-based topographic index, TI, (Qi...

متن کاملWater Quality Functions of Riparian Forest Buffers in Chesapeake Bay Watersheds
/ Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, USA, have agreed to reduce nutrient loadings to Chesapeake Bay by 40% by the year 2000. This requires control of nonpoint sources of nutrients, much of which comes from agriculture. Riparian forest buffer systems (RFBS) provide effective control of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution in some types of agricultural watersheds. Control of NPS pollution is depend...

متن کاملAltered Ecological Flows Blur Boundaries in Urbanizing Watersheds
The relevance of the boundary concept to ecological processes has been recently questioned. Humans in the post-industrial era have created novel lateral transport fluxes that have not been sufficiently considered in watershed studies. We describe patterns of land-use change within the Potomac River basin and demonstrate how these changes have blurred traditional ecosystem boundaries by increasi...
