Abstract/Contents: | Discusses conservation buffers, including what is known about buffers, where more research is needed, and "how buffer research can be more effective in establishing agricultural policies and conservation plans." Discusses combining practices, coupling buffers with manure application, and streamside conservation buffers. Suggests that research is needed on how wide buffers need to be, hydraulic effects of buffers, conservation buffers in regulatory water quality assessments, ecological relationships of buffers, and interactions with steam corridor restoration. Also suggests that the concept of conservation buffers should be expanded "to include all practices that look and act like buffers." |
