Abstract/Contents: | States that a buffer is "a vegetated area adjacent to a body of water (for example, river, steram, wetland, lake). This area may consist of natural undeveloped land where the existing vegetation is left intact, or it may be land planted with vegetation designed to maximize protection. Buffers are often designed to intercept surface runoff and subsurface flow from upland sources in order ot filter pollutants before they enter surface water and goundwater recharge areas." Lists several valuable functions provided by buffer strips and describes their use on golf courses. Concludes that buffers provide a number of functions, including "trapping and filtering nutrients, pesticides, animal waste and sediment; stabilizing eroding banks; and providing wildlife habitat." |
