Languages : en
Pages : 47
Book Description
Buffer strips are bands of planted or indigenous vegetation situated down-slope from cropland or animal production facilities to provide localized erosion protection and to filter nutrients, sediment and other pollutants from agricultural runoff before they reach receiving waters. This report reviews, interprets, and summarizes currently available information on buffer strips for use by advisors carrying out farm planning at the farm level. Topics covered include: what buffer strips are; how they work; effectiveness in removing sediment, nutrients, pathogens, and pesticides; effects on bank stability; factors affecting buffer strip effectiveness; effect of vegetation characteristics; rainfall & runoff factors; long-term effectiveness & maintenance; effects of forest buffer strips on water quality; modelling & design criteria; and research needs.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Precision conservation is a reality, and we are moving towards improved effectiveness of conservation practices by accounting for temporal and spatial variability within and off field. This is the first book to cover the application of the principles of precision conservation to target conservation practices across fields and watersheds. It has clearly been established that the 21st century will present enormous challenges, from increased yield demands to climate change. Without improved conservation practices it will not be possible to ensure food security and conservation effectiveness. Readers will appreciate the application of the precision conservation concept to increase conservation effectiveness in a variety of contexts, with a focus on recent advances in technology, methods, and improved results. IN PRESS! This book is being published according to the “Just Published” model, with more chapters to be published online as they are completed.
