Wetlands at your service: reducing impacts of agriculture at the watershed scale

Joy B. Zedler
- 01 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: In the Upper Midwestern region of the US, three ecosystem services (flood abatement, water quality improvement, and biodiversity support) declined when about 60% of the region's historical wetland area was drained, mostly for agriculture as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of season and hydrologic and chemical loading on nitrate retention in constructed wetlands: a comparison of low- and high-nutrient riverine systems

Douglas J. Spieles, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1999 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the nitrate removal efficiency of two constructed wetlands receiving ambient river water to one constructed municipal wastewater treatment wetland over the same 2-year period in central Ohio, USA.

Buffer zones: their processes and potential in water protection

N. E. Haycock, +2 more
TL;DR: Haycock et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the literature on riparian buffer zones and the factors which limit their effectiveness in various settings, with an emphasis on streams and water quality, and concluded that the knowledge base concerning the water quality buffering effects of riparian zones is far from adequate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Buffer zones to improve water quality: a review of their potential use in UK agriculture

A.D. Muscutt, +3 more
- 01 May 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the effect of buffer zones, defined as a permanently vegetated area of land which is separately managed from the rest of a field or catchment, on the runoff of various agricultural pollutants.

Isolated wetlands and their functions: an ecological perspective

Scott G. Leibowitz
- 01 Sep 2003 - 
TL;DR: In this article, Tiner's (2003b) definition as wetlands that are completely surrounded by upland is revisited, and the authors suggest that isolation not be viewed discretely but be considered within an isolation-connectivity continuum.
