Sensitivity of Riparian Buffer Designs to Climate Change
In this study, we assessed sensitivity of watershed-specific riparian buffer zone (RBZ) designs to water quality indicator parameters in the contemporary climate and in future extreme climatic conditions. we summarized the RBZ design strategy and evaluated five water quality indicator (WQI) parameters: Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Phosphorous (TP), Total Nitrogen (TN), Sediment (SD), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BD) as component of watershed ecosystem services through sensitivity analyses of 135 simulation scenarios. The scenarios included the width variation of six baseline RBZs (Grass, Urban, Two-zone Forest, Three-zone Forest, Wildlife, and Naturalized) in three watersheds within the Albemarle-Pamlico river basin (USA). Analyses revealed optimal RBZ designs.
