| Abstract/Contents: | "This paper estimates the cost of reducing soil erosion with Riparian buffers. The paper explores how the cost of a ton of soil erosion reduction varies across site characteristics in a watershed, including field shape and size, tillage method, and soil type. The methods are used to show how watershed managers may target funds to high and low cost sites and regions within a watershed. The results suggest that the costs of reducing soil erosion with Riparian buffers are lower when buffers are applied to conventionally tilled fields, and that the cost of buffers are comparable to the costs of no-till. The relationship between buffer size, drainage area size, and effectiveness is explored. The paper shows how Riparian buffers with low effectiveness can be cheaper to install than Riparian buffers with high effectiveness." |
