文摘

SWAT and REMM models were integrated to simulate the effectiveness of buffer segments with varied-width and vegetation species along each side of streams. As the buffer drainage area contributing to each buffer segment varies drastically, the input of sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus varied too. From the modelling, the contribution of each segment in reducing sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus varied drastically from segment to segment. This work could be a useful tool for riparian buffer designation and management.
