How can diffuse pollution into lowland wetlands be reduced?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Nutrient pollution is a major cause of decline in lowland peatlands via both waterborne (surface and groundwater) and aerial deposition. Are buffer zones effective and how extensive should they be? Source-pathway- receptor studies are required to determine best practice. This is likely to be site-specific due to varying hydrological conditions although a general review of practice elsewhere may lead to insights.
Keywords (discipline, other): Pollution, lowland wetlands, nutrient pollution, peatlands, source-pathway, source pathway, hydrology, geography
