Grass‐Shrub Riparian Buffer Removal of Sediment, Phosphorus, and Nitrogen From Simulated Runoff1

Abstract: Riparian buffer forests and vegetative filter strips are widely recommended for improving surface water quality, but grass‐shrub riparian buffer system (RBSs) are less well studied. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of buffer width and vegetation type on the key processes and overall reductions of total suspended solids (TSS), phosphorus (P), and nitrogen (N) from simulated runoff passed through established (7‐year old) RBSs. Nine 1‐m RBS plots, with three replicates of three vegetation t… Show more

“…Therefore, additional methods for nutrient removal and control are needed where subsurface tile drainage is common. Passive treatment systems such as vegetated riparian zones and biofilters have been shown to be effective in controlling nutrient inputs from surface runoff (Cors and Tychon, 2007;Dodds and Oakes, 2006;Mankin et al, 2007;Mayer et al, 2007;Spruill, 2004;Yamada et al, 2007). The preponderance of water flow in tile drainage systems though, is subsurface, within the vadose zone.…”

“…Vegetation plays an important role, such as soil conservation, biological utilization, improving soil permeability. The vegetation types used in studies include perennial grasses [7][8][9][10][11], shrubs [12][13][14], forests [15,16] and combinations of those above.…”

“…Riparian zones have been widely used for reducing phosphorus pollution due to their low cost, convenient operation, and easy maintenance [7][8][9]. Adsorption and precipitation of the media is considered to be one of the most useful removal processes of phosphorus from a column of water in riparian zones [10,11].…”

“…However, RM is still regarded as a hazardous environmental pollutant due to its highly alkaline properties and high concentrations of various chemical substances [3]. As a consequence, appropriate pretreatment of RM is necessary before practical use [2].Riparian zones have been widely used for reducing phosphorus pollution due to their low cost, convenient operation, and easy maintenance [7][8][9].
