A review of the effectiveness of vegetated buffers to mitigate pesticide and nutrient transport into surface waters from agricultural areas
Abstract
A relatively large number of studies have investigated the effectiveness of vegetated buffer strips at reducing the movement of pesticides and nutrients from agriculture fields. This review outlines the observed influence of different factors (e.g., buffer width, slope, runoff intensity, soil composition, plant community) that can influence the efficacy of vegetated buffers in pesticide and nutrient retention. The reported effectiveness of …
