Hello! I am looking for recent (ca. 2005-) literature on the (typically beneficial) effects of riparian buffer zones on receiving freshwater ecosystems, particularly lakes, streams, and groundwater. Reviews and papers on empirical investigations will be equally welcome. Thanks a lot in advance!
perhaps search

Hello! Perhaps consulting the "Riparian Buffers Functions and Benefits" recent articles list page from the Carter Library and Resource Center, Maryland Department of Natural Resource (MDNR) in Annapolis, Maryland may be of some assistance to you:

Dear Pei and Mei-Ling, thanks a lot for your answers and the very, very promising suggestions and links! They will make a great starting point for my biblio research! -P.
You are quite welcome. I wish you much success in your current research endeavour.
Hello Paola, see bellow some recent articles that may interest you. Best!
Look for Suurkuukka et al. 2014: Woodland key habitats and stream biodiversity: Does small-scale terrestrial conservation enhance the protection of stream biota? Biological Conservation 170: 10-19.
hi Paola
We prepared some comprehensive technical guidelines as part of the Australian National Riparian Lands Program some year ago. Most of the information is stored in electronic form on this website - http://arrc.com.au/resources/healthy-ecosystems/
Other chapters can be found under the other headings in the resources link.

Hi Paola,
This featured collection on riparian ecosystems and buffers might have some useful references - see Mayer et al (2014) for intro: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jawr.12212/abstract
Also for a review on the beneficial effects of riparian vegetation on water quality see Dosskey et al (2010): http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1752-1688.2010.00419.x/abstract
Hope this helps.

Dear friends,
Thank you so much for your input! I think that I have enough starting material for my project, now.
