People talk about buffers or “riparian” zones. What are they?

0

The riparian zone, or buffer, is the area next to the water. These strips of grass, shrubs, and trees protect stream banks from erosion, provide habitat, and help filter pollutants out of storm water before they reach streams. Trees and shrubs along stream banks shade the water, keeping it cool for salmon.
