Title: Supply of an ecosystem service—Farmers’ willingness to adopt riparian buffer zones in agricultural catchments
In the European Union, mitigation measures to abate diffuse pollution from agricultural land are implemented under the direction of the EU Nitrates and Water Framework Directives. As these measures are implemented in national policies, a review process will look at the efficacy of the measures with a view to recommending further measures as necessary and following scientific and stakeholder con...
متن کاملCarbon storage of headwater riparian zones in an agricultural landscape
BACKGROUND In agricultural regions, streamside forests have been reduced in age and extent, or removed entirely to maximize arable cropland. Restoring and reforesting such riparian zones to mature forest, particularly along headwater streams (which constitute 90% of stream network length) would both increase carbon storage and improve water quality. Age and management-related cover/condition cl...
متن کاملRipaRian Ecology and consERvation
Received 07 May 2012 Accepted 12 December 2012 Abstract The well-documented re-colonisation of the French large river basins of Loire and Rhone by European otter and beaver allowed the analysis of explanatory factors and threats to species movement in the river corridor. To what extent anthropogenic disturbance of the riparian zone influences the corridor functioning is a central question in th...
متن کاملRiparian zones in southern Appalachian headwater catchments: Carbon and nitrogen responses to forest cutting
There is little understanding about the role eastern US forested headwater riparian areas play in protecting aquatic habitats and water quality from impacts of side slope forest harvest. To better understand this important riparian area function, we selected three sites frommanagement units with a 2-age regeneration silvicultural prescription located on the Nantahala National Forest, North Caro...
متن کاملPotential for long-term transfer of dissolved organic carbon from riparian zones to streams in boreal catchments.
Boreal regions store most of the global terrestrial carbon, which can be transferred as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to inland waters with implications for both aquatic ecology and carbon budgets. Headwater riparian zones (RZ) are important sources of DOC, and often just a narrow 'dominant source layer' (DSL) within the riparian profile is responsible for most of the DOC export. Two important...
