Wetland buffer zones (WBZs) are riparian areas that form a transition between terrestrial and
aquatic environments and are well-known to remove agricultural water pollutants such as …

This literature review addresses how wide a streamside forest buffer needs to be to protect
water quality, habitat, and biota for small streams (≤~ 100 km2 or~ 5th order watershed) …

Soil nitrogen (N) budgets are used in a global, distributed flow-path model with 0.5°× 0.5°
resolution, representing denitrification and N2O emissions from soils, groundwater and …

In north western Europe, agricultural systems are generally managed to maximize the
potential delivery of provisioning ecosystem services. This has often been at the expense of …

Anaerobic oxidation of ammonium (anammox) is recognized as an important process for
nitrogen (N) cycling, yet its role in agricultural ecosystems, which are intensively fertilized …

Robust global simulation of soil background N2O emissions (BNEs) is a challenge due to
the lack of a comprehensive system for quantification of the variations in their magnitude and …

This review evaluates research in the past 20 years focusing on groundwater nitrate removal
in the riparian zones of agricultural watersheds. Studies have reported a large range in the …

Quantification of harmful nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from soils is essential for mitigation
measures. An important N2O producing and reducing process in soils is denitrification …

Buffer strips on agricultural land have been shown to protect surface water quality by
reducing erosion and diffuse pollution. They can also play a key role in nature conservation …

Optimizing landscape pattern to reduce the risk of non-point source (NPS) pollution is an
effective measure to improve river water quality. The “source-sink” landscape theory is a …
