buffer strips

Pollen barriers, such as buffer strips, may be an appropriate alternative.

Every Member State should consider how it wants these buffer strips regulated.

"Our buffer strips don't have to be fenced off and they provide wildlife corridors."

Buffer strips must be right for the geographical situation, the soil properties and the plants that require protection.

Bird communities in riparian buffer strips of industrial forests.

Buffer strips are very important in helping to provide habitat for many species of wildlife in the open farm lands by causing an edge effect.

As far as the buffer strips are concerned, there is nothing wrong with the Commission's chosen strategy of treating subsidiarity as the key element.

Without taking sides, the Iowa Farm Bureau has created programs to plant trees and grass buffer strips and to monitor water pollution.

Many studies have clearly demonstrated that managed buffer strips and wetlands can remove significant amounts of nitrate (NO) from agricultural systems through denitrification.

Buffer strips can have several different configurations of vegetation found on them varying from simply grass to combinations of grass, trees, and shrubs.

These cover all farming types including uplands - for example, hedgerow management, stone wall maintenance, low input grassland, buffer strips, and various arable options.

Buffer strips provide a barrier of grass in between impervious paving material like parking lots and roads, and the closest body of water.

Buffer strips trap sediment, and enhance filtration of nutrients and pesticides by slowing down runoff that could enter the local surface waters.

Bioretention swales, similar to buffer strips and swales, are placed within the base of a swale that is generally located in the median strip of divided roads.

Together, the state and Federal governments will pay landowners 87.5 percent of the cost of planting buffer strips, restoring wetlands, fencing out cattle and carrying out related conservation measures.

Buffer Initiative: Vegetative buffers, also called riparian buffer zones, buffer strips or greenbelts, located between land and water help filter pollutants and improve water quality.

Land Application Area: The best management practices (BMPs) for land application areas include different requirements, such as vegetative buffer strips and setback limits from water bodies.

The main mechanism would be to let them take part in conservation programs that protect the environment by setting aside land, cleaning water and improving farmland by planting buffer strips or creating wetlands.

But inspectors found a clearcut within 15 feet of a stream, and a survey found that in six of nine spots examined the buffer strips ranged from 13 feet to 85 feet.

For these goals, the foundation estimates, the revised cleanup plan must include far better control of the nitrogen runoff, including greater incentives for farmers to dedicate land bordering the bay as buffer strips.

Uplands sheep and dairy farmer Marshall Waller shows how some of the features on his farm including ditches, walls, buffer strips, in-field trees and grassland contribute to his Environmental Stewardship options.

Swales and buffer strips are used to convey stormwater in lieu of pipes and provide a buffer strip between receiving waters (e.g. creek or wetland) and impervious areas of a catchment.

In agricultural systems, common practices include the use of buffer strips, grassed waterways, the reestablishment of wetlands, and forms of sustainable agriculture practices such as conservation tillage, crop rotation and intercropping.

Much of this corridor is fairly narrow, and contains only the brook, the Alewife Brook Parkway and modest buffer strips of land on either side and in between the brook and the parkway.

The land extends northward from the shore across the narrow riparian buffer strips and the slopes of the Lavaux, with the eastern boundary runs along the creek "Champaflon" then to the southeast to the Jorat plateau.
