Abstract: The quality of stream habitat varies for a variety of natural and
anthropogenic reasons not identified by a condition index. However, many
people use condition indices to indicate management needs or even direction.
To better sort natural from livestock influences, stream types and levels of
ungulate bank damage were regulated to estimates of aquatic habitat condition
index and stream width parameters in a large existing stream inventory data
base. Pool/riffle ratio, pool structure, stream bottom materials, soil
stability, and vegetation type varied significantly with stream type.
Pool/riffle ratio, soil and vegetation stability varied significantly with
ungulate bank damage level. Soil and vegetation stability were highly
cross-correlated. Riparian area width did not vary significantly with either
stream type or ungulate bank damage. Variation among stream types indicates
that riparian management and monitoring should be stream type and reach
specific.

Abstract: F1 Brahman steers annually grazed the same big sacaton (Sporobolus
wrightii Monro) pastures in either spring (May 1-June 12), summer (July
1-August 12), or fall (September 1-October 12) for three years. Green forage
accumulated gradually in spring, accumulated rapidly in summer and declined
gradually in fall, but mean daily steer gains averaged 1.5, 0.8, and 0.5
lb/animal on spring, summer, and fall grazed pastures, respectively. Spring
gains were superior because green forage quality was greatest when plants
initiated growth in spring. Summer gains were directly affected by green
forage quantity, and green forage quantity was dependent on highly variable
summer rainfall amounts. Fall gains were consistently low because forage
quality declines rapidly in fall when green forage transfers to dead forage.
In the three years, more than 80% of the green forage disappeared during
spring grazing but pastures recovered in subsequent summer growing seasons. If
the land manager wishes to maximize animal production without damaging the
renewable natural resource (plant production), it is recommended to graze big
sacaton grasslands in spring, avoid these riparian grasslands in dry summers,
and discontinue fall grazing.

Abstract: The factors controlling NO3 removal in riparian buffer systems are
poorly understood. We measured denitrification rates for two Coastal Plain,
forested riparian zone soils: Kinston fine loamy sand (fine-loamy, siliceous,
acid, thermic Typic Fluvaquent) and Alapaha loamy sand (loamy, siliceous,
thermic Arenic Plinthic Paleaquult). Kinston soils are more poorly drained and
have higher organic matter than Alapaha soils. Surface soil and shallow
aquifer samples were treated with solutions that contained chloramphenicol
with either distilled water, NO3-N, glucose-C, or NO3, plus glucose.
Denitrification potentials (N2O production in the presence of acetylene) were
significantly higher in Kinston soil for both depths. Surface samples from
both soils showed significant responses to NO3 additions but no response to C
additions without NO3. Subsurface samples, taken from the top of the aquifer,
showed no significant response to either NO3 or C treatments for either soil.
Both soils showed a high degree of stratification within the top 10 cm, with
88 and 68% of denitrification potential in the top 2 cm for Alapaha and
Kinston soils, respectively. Denitrification rates in cores were much lower
than in slurries but rates in cores with NO3 or NO3-plus-glucose additions
were significantly higher than unamended or C-amended cores for the Kinston
soil. Although both soils respond to NO3 additions, Kinston soils are better
able to reduce incoming NO3. These results indicate that denitrification in
the shallow aquifer is a more important removal mechanism at the Kinston site
than at the Alapaha site.

Abstract: Progress curve analysis of NO3(-) and NO2(-) reduction in surface
soil samples from a streamside soil gave Km values of 4.24 and 6.33
micromolar, and Vmax values of 2.16 and 1.83 micromoles l-1 min-1,
respectively. Recoveries of reduced NO3(-) and NO2(-) as gaseous N averaged 82
and 108%. The unrecovered NO3(1-)-N was presumably dissimilated to NH4(1+)-N.
The denitrification enzyme activity (DEA) was examined throughout a year and
showed seasonal and spatial variabilities of only 10% to 26%. suggesting a
high persistency of denitrifying enzymes. Soil moisture and DEA correlated
significantly (r = 0.7671; P < 0.01). The DEA in saturated subsoil also showed
a relatively little variation, with spatial variabilities of between 28 and
38%. Amendment with NO3(-) rarely enhanced the activity more than two-fold at
either depth. Addition of glucose increased the activity 2.3 and 2.5 times in
the surface soil and subsoil respectively, indicating a moderate carbon
limitation of denitrification. The activation energy of DEA was found to be
64.9 kJ mol-1 and Q10 values for the 2-12 degrees C and 12-22 degrees C
temperature ranges were 2.71 and 2.53, respectively. Extrapolation suggested
there would be a 4.4-fold increase in DEA if the temperature was changed from
0 to 15 degrees C. Substrate diffusion limited the denitrification 10 to 25
fold. Thus, under anaerobic moist conditions it appears that changes in
denitrification might primarily be due to varying diffusion of substrates into
the anaerobic soil centers. Over a year, fluctuations in DEA, temperature
changes and fluctuations of electron-acceptor and -donor supply will only have
a minor effect on natural denitrification activity.

Abstract: Land managers of salt desert shrub and sagebrush steppe vegetation
have concerns regarding appropriate stocking rates in summer for ephemeral
stream riparian zones because of elevated levels of use on woody vegetation.
We determined utilization levels of forage species over time as a fixed animal
density decreased available forage as a means of approximating the stocking
rate suitable for an area and identifying plant species for monitoring. Trend
in abundance of important plant species will ultimately determine appropriate
stocking rate in a particular management situation. Forage utilization by
cattle during mid-summer for 2 successive years was measured weekly for 3
weeks in streamside (channel and floodplain) and adjacent upland (terrace and
saline upland) vegetation communities along the ephemeral stream. Measures
were also made of crude protein and dry matter content of plant species. Plant
communities used by cattle were also recorded. Utilization of streamside and
terrace vegetation declined markedly over the 3 weeks, while utilization of
forage in saline uplands was lower than in other areas and did not decline
over weeks of study. More cattle selected streamside and terrace areas with
the most succulent forages than saline uplands with less succulent forages.
Woody plants in channel areas, cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr. ex Marsh.)
particularly, were higher in protein, more succulent, and more severely grazed
than other species. Management of cottonwood probably limits the stocking rate
used in these communities. Declines in weekly utilization of forages after the
first week indicated intake may have been declining. If so, lower levels of
utilization may be needed to maintain animal performance. Maintenance of
cottonwoods and animal performance considerations may dictate a lower stocking
rate than achieved in this midsummer study.

Denitrification variability and control in a riparian fen irrigated with

Abstract: Denitrification was measured by the C2H2 inhibition technique in a
riparian fen irrigated with agricultural drainage water. 16 h after C2H2
treatment 88 +/- 14% of the total N2O contained in water-saturated cores could
be accounted for by assuming equilibrium between the gas phase and the liquid
phase. The denitrification activity averaged 2.8 and 8.8 mg N2O-N m-2 day-1 in
the control plot and 1.6 and 21.9 mg N2O-N m-2 day-1 in the irrigated plot
during the dry and the runoff periods respectively. Four percent of the
incoming NO3- was reduced to gaseous N. The spatial variability was often
high, with coefficients of variation > 100% and was independent of seasonal
changes in soil anaerobiosis. Soil NO3- and denitrification were poorly
related, and bulk concentrations of NO3- below 200 micromolar suggested that
the process was strongly limited by diffusion of NO3- into the soil during
periods of flooding. Mean denitrification and water-filled pores correlated
positively, r = 0.71 for the control and r = 0.68 for the irrigated plots.
Water-soluble C was not related to denitrification. Multiple regression models
including soil water, NO3-, soluble C and temperature as independent
variables, predicted between 21 and 55% of the denitrification, the highest
value found when only mean data was considered. Water-filled pores was the
most important variable. The observations on which 2 variables controlled
denitrification were supported by laboratory experiments with manipulated
cores. Water additions increased denitrification only in samples collected
during the dry period. Anaerobic incubation of saturated cores did not affect
the process. Restricted NO3- availability was clearly illustrated by the
25-41-fold increase obtained when NO3- was injected into cores at ambient and
high carbon respectively. A response of up to 13-fold was observed when
substrate-amended cores were made into slurries. Glucose did not increase
denitrification by more than a factor of three.

Abstract: Ephemeral channels may be greater contributors to nonpoint sediment
loads than perennial channels because of their abundance and lower vegetative
cover. This study examines above- and belowground standing crop responses of
selected vegetation classes and density of shrubs to grazing use and yearly
weather variation along an ephemeral stream in northcentral Wyoming.
Aboveground biomass standing crop was determined yearly in channel,
floodplain, and upland habitats in ungrazed and grazed pastures during the
4-year study. Belowground biomass and shrub densities were determined yearly
in the channel habitat only. Perennial grass standing crop in channels did not
respond to grazing but decreased up to 73% with decreases in frequency and
amount of precipitation. In floodplains, perennial grasses were not responsive
to grazing; annual grasses were twice as abundant in grazed pastures.
Vegetation standing crop in uplands was not influenced by grazing. Over the
study period in all pastures, standing crop of blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis
(H.B.K.) Lag. ex Griffiths) declined 4 fold while cool-season grasses
increased 5 fold. Shrub density did not increase as much in grazed as in
ungrazed pastures. Root biomass of the channel decreased 23% in years with
less precipitation but was greater by 24% on concave than convex bank types.
Location on channels influenced root biomass but grazing did not. Lack of
general negative grazing influences on vegetation suggest short periods (10
days) of grazing as used in this study represent a sustainable management
alternative for grazing in the cold desert.

management strategy because of a reduced tendency for cattle to concentrate
along streams during that season. In this study, June cattle distribution was
examined within 4 experimental pastures located along Stanley Creek, Sawtooth
National Recreation Area, Sawtooth National Forest, in central Idaho. Two
pastures were grazed at a light stocking rate and 2 pastures were grazed at a
medium stocking rate. Streamside graminoid utilization averaged about 24%
under light stocking, while on the adjacent meadow graminoid utilization was
28%. Under medium stocking the average utilization at streamside was 37%,
while that on the adjacent meadow was 50%. Residual herbaceous stubble heights
under light stocking were 11 to 12 cm for both grazing locations, whereas
streamside and meadow stubble heights were 10 cm and 7 cm, respectively, under
moderate stocking. Cattle were not disproportionately attracted to the
streamside areas during the June period. As stocking rates increased from
light to medium, the cattle concentrated most of their additional use on the
adjacent drier meadow. Utilization of riparian plant communities during this
early summer period had no relationship to the amount of plant moisture
content, but was negatively associated with surface soil moisture.

Abstract: Mechanisms of nitrate (NO3) removal from groundwater in riparian
forests are poorly understood. This study was conducted in the Georgia coastal
plain to: (i) determine changes in NO3 and Cl concentrations within shallow
groundwater moving from a row-crop field to a stream; (ii) determine the
spatial and temporal distribution of denitrification potential relative to
changes in NO3 concentrations; and (iii) determine whether NO3 or C supply was
limiting denitrification potential. Nitrate and Cl concentrations in
groundwater were measured biweekly or monthly for October 1988 through May
1990. Denitrification potentials, indicated by the denitrification enzyme
assay, were measured bimonthly from October 1988 through October 1989.
Modified potential measurements, lacking either NO3, C, or both, were also
performed bimonthly. Both NO3 and NO3/Cl ratios in groundwater decreased by a
factor of 7 to 9 in the first 10 m of forest. Within the next 40 m of forest,
mean NO3 concentration decreased from 1.80 to 0.81 mg NO3-N L-1.
Denitrification potential was more than two orders of magnitude higher in the
top 10 cm of soil than in the top 10 cm of the shallow aquifer.
Denitrification potential was consistently highest in surface soil nearest the
field and nearest the stream and was limited by NO3 availability in all
surface soil samples. Denitrification potential was highest in October and
August. Although NO3 is definitely being removed from shallow groundwater, it
is apparently not due to direct denitrification from the saturated zone. High
denitrification potential in surface soils, especially near the field/forest
interface, may contribute to NO3 disappearance from shallow groundwater.
Processes associated with intact riparian vegetation appear to play the
primary role in N removal.

Abstract: Nitate retention in riparian buffer strips is well documented in
summer periods, but the potential of winter retention within these zones is
poorly documented. Two sites, grass (Lolium perenne L.), and poplar (Populus
italica)-vegetated riparian strips, were investigated in southern England
(River Leach). Groundwater flow was via subsurface pathways within the sites,
NO3- concentration gradients and loading rates were calculated over the winter
period. Nitrate retention was found to be linearly dependent on load rate.
Nitrate retention occurred at the edge of the riparian zone. This was most
obvious in the poplar site where all hillslope-derived NO3 was absorbed within
the first 5 m of flow within the riparian strip. When loading rates into the
sites increased, NO3 absorption migrated upslope from the riparian site. The
poplar-vegetated riparian zone was found to be more resilient (99% retention
of NO3-) than the grass-vegetated riparian zone (84% retention of NO3-) in the
winter months. It is postulated that although vegetation has no active role in
retaining NO3- in the winter, above-ground vegetative biomass does contribute
C to the soil microbacterial biomass that is engaged in NO3- reduction in the
winter months, this accounted for the greater efficiency of the poplar
vegetated site.

Abstract: This study was conducted to assess the removal of groundwater
nitrate (NO3-) in different soil drainage classes within three riparian
forests located in Rhode Island. A solution of NO3- and a conservative tracer
[either bromide (Br-) or chloride (Cl-)] was applied in the growing and the
dormant seasons to trenches upgradient of wetland locations with hydric soils
(poorly and very poorly drained soils) and transition zone locations with
somewhat poorly and moderately well-drained soils located immediately upslope
of the wetlands. To assess removal, the change in groundwater concentrations
of NO3- relative to the concentration of the conservative tracer was observed
in monitoring wells located in each soil drainage class from June 1989 through
April 1990. Removal of groundwater NO3- was consistently high in the wetland
locations, generally in excess of 80% in both growing and dormant seasons. In
the transition zones, attenuation was less than 36% during the growing season,
and ranged from 50 to 78% in the dormant season. Attenuation in the transition
zones was positively correlated with water table elevations. Transition zone
attenuation was high in the dormant season relative to the growing season
likely because high water tables during the dormant season caused the
contaminant plume to be exposed to soil with higher organic matter. The
results suggest that both wetlands and transition zones between wetlands and
uplands can be important sinks for groundwater NO3-.

Abstract: While riparian forests have a demonstrated ability to remove
nitrate (NO3(-1)) moving from uplands before it enters streams, there is
considerable uncertainty as to the mechanisms of NO3(-1) removal in these
areas. We characterized spatial and temporal variation in denitrification
enzyme activity (DEA), microbial biomass C and N content, soil respiration and
potential net N mineralization and nitrification in three riparian forest
sites consisting of soil catenas containing moderately well, somewhat poorly,
poorly, and very poorly drained soils (inceptisols and entisols). These
measurements were made in conjunction with studies of NO3(-1) removal from
groundwater during growing and dormant seasons that are reported in a
companion paper. Two of the sites were on stratified glacial drift, one with
an undeveloped upland and one with an upland with high density unsewered
residential development that produced groundwater at the edge of the riparian
zone with NO3(-1)-N concentrations between 8 and 12 mg/L. The third site was
on unstratified glacial drift with an undeveloped upland. Hydric surface (0-15
cm) soils (poorly and very poorly drained) consistently had higher DEA than
upland-wetland transition zone (moderately well and somewhat poorly drained)
surface soils. Spatial patterns of microbial biomass C and N content were more
variable but showed the same general pattern as DEA. Levels of DEA and
microbial biomass were consistently low or undetectable at and below the
seasonal high water table. Surface soil DEA and microbial biomass were
correlated with NO3(-1) removal from groundwater during the growing season.
Low levels of DEA and microbial biomass in the subsurface however, suggested
that plant uptake was the dominant groundwater NO3(-1) sink during the growing
season. During the dormant season, water table levels were higher and
groundwater-borne NO3(-1) was able to interact with near surface soil and be
removed by denitrification and/or microbial immobilization

Abstract: Nitrous oxide is soluble and can accumulate in soil solution when
gaseous diffusion is restricted. The importance of N losses via degassing of
N2O from groundwater entering surface streams is unknown. Measurements of N2O
in soil solution revealed patterns of seasonal and spatial variation that were
consistent with ecosystem regulation of denitrification. The highest
concentrations were observed in the riparian zone in May, when soil NO3-,
temperature and moisture were conducive for denitrification. At each of the
other sample dates and sites, at least one of these factors appeared to
prevent significant N2O accumulation in soil solution. Extrapolation of the
highest observed N2O concentrations to an annual basis corresponded to a loss
of only 56 g N ha-1 yr-1. Denitrification in the riparian zone may be an
important fate of N in this hardwood forest, but N2O in soil solution does not
appear to be a significant pathway of N loss. This site might be expected to
produce N2O at higher rates than most hardwood forests, but extrapolation of
the highest calculated losses from soil solution over the global area occupied
by hardwood forest indicates that this source of N2O is insignificant for
global atmospheric budgets.

Abstract: Agricultural and other disturbed lands contribute to non-point
source pollution of water bodies (streams and lakes). Vegetative filter strips
(VFS) are often recommended to reduce off-site impacts. Design guidelines to
optimize performance of VFS are not readily available. A process-based model
is presented to simulate the hydrology of a Vegetative Filter Strip for a
given event. The model consists of a quadratic finite element overland flow
submodel, based on the kinematic wave approximation, coupled with an
infiltration submodel based on a modification of the Green-Ampt equation for
unsteady rainfall. The model is used to study the effect of soil type, stope,
surface roughness, buffer length, storm pattern and field inflow on the VFS
performance. Filter performance, i.e., reduction of the runoff volume,
velocity and peak, is higher for denser grass cover, smaller slopes and soils
with higher infiltration capacity. Time to peak(s) depended mainly on the
roughness-slope combination.

Abstract: To investigate the ability of riparian forest to intercept
nutrients leaving adjacent cropland, we examined changes in the chemistry of
groundwater flowing from a corn (Zea mays L.) field through a riparian forest.
This study provided a comparison to previous studies of a different forest. We
sampled groundwater from a transect of wells, and used a Br- tracer to confirm
that groundwater moved laterally along the transect through the forest. As
groundwater flowed through the forest, concentrations decreased from about 8
mg/L at the edge of the corn field to <0.4 mg/L halfway through the forest.
Dissolved organic N and NH4+ increased by less than 0.1 mg/L, and dissolved
organic C did not change with distance. Sulfate remained constant with
distance until midway through the forest, where it began to increase. Chloride
concentration rose until midway through the forest, then fell. Values of pH
increased from under 5 at the edge of the corn field to over 7 at the stream
bank, perhaps as a result of the NO3- consumption. Most of the change in NO3-
occurred abruptly at the edge of a floodplain within the forest. There the
water table was closest to the surface and soil Eh below the water table was
less than -90 mV. Such strongly reducing conditions may have promoted
denitrification in the floodplain. In contrast, soil Eh on the adjacent hill
slope was above 500 mV, too high to support denitrification. There were only
slight seasonal changes in groundwater chemistry. We also studied the net
annual accretion of sediment in the riparian forest by measuring changes in
the elevation of the soil surface. There was little or no accretion in the
forest, but along a path of overland storm flow there was net erosion. Thus,
nutrient retention by this forest, in contrast with the forest we previously
studied, was contrast with the forest we previously studied, was entirely a
below ground process. Functional differences within sections of this forest
and among different riparian forests suggest a need for research on the
factors that control nutrient retention.

Abstract: Streams draining coniferous forests are often loaded with solutes
such as hydrogen ion, sulphate, nitrate and aluminium. As a result, fish
populations can be reduced and water quality may fall below recommended
potable standards. The transport of ions into water-courses is governed by the
movement of water. Within most temperate and tropical areas the stream
discharge and chemistry, during periods of rapid runoff, is dominated by the
exfiltration of water and solutes from stream-side soils. The movement of
water to stream-side or 'riparian' areas remains, however, an enigma. This
paper attempts to explain how the riparian area might be rapidly recharged
during storm events. Two analytical techniques, the free-surface method and
tangent-continuity method, are applied to hydrological properties monitored on
a steep coniferous hillslope, during a selected storm event. Comparison of the
ionic concentrations of waters within each component of the hydrological
system, is used to verify the hydrological analysis. Perched water-tables
developed within the basal zones of the O/Ah and Eag soil horizons of the
steep podzolic hillslope, during all major storm events. Most of the rapid
response within the riparian zone could be explained by lateral flow in these
near-surface soil horizons, particularly in the saturated basal zones. This
pathway is corroborated by the similarity of riparian zone and near-surface
(or topsoil) chemistries. Relatively low concentrations of monomeric aluminium
and relatively high concentrations of chloride, sodium and hydrogen ion were
observed within these zones, compared with the subsoil (Bsl and B/C) horizons.

Abstract: The effect of late-autumn cattle grazing on plant biomass was
examined in a western Great Plains cottonwood riparian zone prone to
catastrophic flooding every 5-8 years. Following 1 year of pre-treatment data
collection in 1982, five 16-ha pastures were grazed from 1982 to 1984 and
compared to 5 control pastures within the South Platte River floodplain in
northeastern Colorado. At a prescribed grazing level of 0.46 ha/AUM, riparian
vegetation proved to be resilient to the impacts of grazing. We detected only
a few significant treatment effects for above-ground biomass after succeeding
growing seasons. Willows (Salix spp.) responded negatively to grazing whereas
biomass of prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) was greater on grazed
plots. Yearly changes in above-ground biomass, especially dramatic following a
severe flood in 1983, suggest that periodic, catastrophic flooding is a major
perturbation to the ecosystem, and in conjunction with our results on grazing
impacts, indicate that dormant-season grazing within Soil Conservation Service
(SCS) guidelines is a comparatively minor impact within the floodplain. In
addition, grazing impacts were probably further mitigated by a major forage
supplement of cottonwood leaves which was available at the time of cattle
introductions. This local forage supplement ultimately created a lighter
grazing treatment than that originally prescribed.

Abstract: We investigated microbial denitrification in an organic riparian
zone and identified factors which regulated its rate. The riparian zone
received nitrate from incoming groundwater draining an upslope forest which
was spray irrigated with treated effluent. Soil cores were taken from the
riparian zone and the following variables were measured: KCl-extracted
nitrate, water soluble carbon concentration, organic matter content, moisture
content, denitrifying enzyme activity, on-site denitrification rates and
natural N2O production. Five sampling surveys were made at a range of field
temperatures (12-21 degrees C). The riparian soil was continually
water-saturated and contained an average organic matter content of 26%.
Nitrate concentration in groundwater entering the upslope edge of the riparian
zone was generally greater than 5 mg N l-1. In combination, these factors
resulted in an ideal environment for denitrification. Mean and median
denitrification rates were found to be 1.12 and 0.95 g N m-2 day-1; while mean
and median N2O production rates were 73 and 84 mg N m-2 day-1. These rates
were 1-3 orders of magnitude greater than those reported in previous studies
of upland soils. Up to 77% of the variation in on-site denitrification rate
could be explained by nitrate concentration and denitrifying enzyme activity.
Temperature may also have regulated the rate of denitrification; however,
insufficient observations at different temperatures were made to fully
establish a temperature effect. N2O production was found to be most highly
correlated to on-site denitrification rate. Rates of denitrifying enzyme
activity were also greater than those generally found in upland soils, the
mean and median rates were 810 and 740 ng N g-1 h-1.

Overland flow
Abstract: The flow records for two pasture headwater catchments for 9 yr
before, and 9 yr after riparian afforestation in one catchment were compared.
Average rainfall was 1021 mm per yr. Riparian afforestation reduced water
yields by 68 to 104 mm (21-55%) when the Pinus radiata stand was 8 to 10 yr
old. Delayed runoff declined by 52 to 93 mm per yr (27-63%). Afforestation
reduced the quickflow yield in 1 yr (22 mm or 40%). Peak flows declined in
small events, were not affected in medium-sized events, and may have increased
in large events. The large reductions in yield indicate that the riparian zone
had a disproportionately important influence on catchment hydrology. They are
attributed to high transpiration losses from the riparian pine in seasons with
water deficits, and higher than usual forest interception losses because of
the small-scale planting. Streamwater sediment, total and dissolved N and P
concentrations in these two catchments and another riparian afforested
catchment were monitored for 2 yr. Concentrations were generally lower in the
completely pastured catchment. Estimated annual sediment, total P, Kjeldahl N,
and nitrate exports from the pasture catchment were 31 to 60%, 70%, 61 to 64%
and 58 to 74% of those from the riparian afforested catchments in spite of a
higher water yield. Possible explanations for the poor water quality in
riparian afforested catchments are described including the lack of riparian
wetlands, in-stream vegetation, and close riparian ground cover. The
consequences of riparian afforestation in pasture catchments may not readily
be predicted from the impacts of complete catchment afforestation.

Abstract: Research at the University of Iowa is testing the ECOLOTREE BUFFER,
a prototype wooded buffer strip planted between a creek and row-cropped land
with roots grown intentionally deep enough to intersect the near-surface water
table. This project demonstrates that Populus spp. trees cultured by using
this technique are both ecologically sustaining and productive. Measured data
prove that nitrate is removed from near-surface groundwater and that the
nitrogen uptake is present as protein in the leaves and the woody stems. The
tree's physiological attributes contribute to a harvested value that can "pay
its way"; these include fast wood growth, cut-stem rooting, resprouting from a
stump, phreatophytic roots, and a high protein content in the leaves. The
wooded riparian strip changes the local agroecosystem by reducing fertilizer
nutrients causing surface water eutrophication, by diversifying wildlife
habitat, by reducing soils erosion caused by wind and water, by diversifying
the crop base, by creating an aesthetic addition in the landscape. This idea
is a potential technique for managing non-point source pollutants created by
modern farming practices.

Abstract: The Sheep Creek watershed of northcentral Colorado provided an
ideal site to collect baseline trend data and to estimate foliar cover
responses of montane riparian vegetation. Percent relative cover data were
compared with Sorensen's similarity index and were analyzed with a 2-stage
nested analysis of variance (ANOVA) to assess differences among 4 grazing
treatments: long-term grazing (G), protection from livestock grazing since
1956 (P), recent protection following long-term grazing (P88), and recent
livestock grazing following protection (G88). This study utilized 3
replications of each treatment. Data were collected in August 1988, June 1989,
and August 1989, employing permanent and randomly placed transects and plots.
When percent foliar cover means were paired using Sorensen's similarity index,
long-term grazing and short-term grazing treatments were least similar in
August 1988. Long-term protection and short-term grazing were most similar in
June 1989. Average percent cover of bare ground, common dandelion (Taraxacum
officinale Wiggers), white Dutch clover (Trifolium repens L.), and legumes
grouped as lifeforms were significantly different among treatments, with
long-term grazing being significantly different from long-term protection.
Average sedge and forb cover was least affected. However, responses of
individual sedge species varied with treatments. Average percent grass cover
increased under short-term protection after a history of long-term grazing.
Short-term grazing stimulated foliar cover of forbs, grasses, and sedges after
more than 30 years of cattle exclusion.

Descriptors: Stream erosion; Models
Abstract: Processes of fluvial erosion which operate on the banks of alluvial
streams are examined by considering mechanisms of bed and bank erosion and
mass failure of drained, homogeneous, cohesive banks. These concepts are used
to formulate a mathematical model to evaluate bed degradation for the case in
which bed lowering causes bank instability. Application of the model to a
laboratory experiment verifies the behavior of the bed degradation submodel.
Analysis of a more complex scenario demonstrates the importance of considering
streambank erosion in streambed degradation analyses.

Abstract: Many natural and anthropogenic factors contribute to the stability
or erodibility of stream channels. Although a stream rating procedure used by
more than 60 percent of the U.S. National Forests provides an estimate overall
stability, it does not identify the cause of instability or indicate
corrective management. To better sort natural from livestock influences,
stream stability rating indicator variables were related to stream types and
levels of ungulate bank damage in a large data base for streams in northern
Nevada. Stability and the range in stability varied naturally with stream
type. Ungulate bank damage had different effects on different stream types and
on different parts of their cross-sections. Vegetation is more important for
stability on certain stream types than on other types. Streams with
noncohesive sand and gravel banks are most sensitive to livestock grazing.
Range managers should consider the stream type when setting local standards,
writing management objectives, or determining riparian grazing strategies.
