They filter runoff and take out pollutants before those pol lutants foul streams and groundwater. And they stabilize river banks, give homes to wildlife, and make streams cooler and cleaner for fish. Experts promote them, and more people build them, but how do riparian buffers work? And how can new buffers be built even better? That’s what Charles Goebel hopes to learn and share with fanners and foresters. Goebel, an Ohio State Univer sity forest ecologist based on the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center’s (OARDC) Wooster campus, studies Ohio’s riparian areas to see what grows there, how they function and the best ways to re store them. Many of those areas have been harmed by develop ment. The aim of Goebel’s work; new, effective riparian plantings ideally including native trees such as sycamores, cottonwoods and, yes, Ohio buckeyes spe cially designed for and adapted to the state. Typically, revamped riparian buffers, especially those on farms, are seeded with non native, cool-season grasses, which are relatively easy to es tablish and care for. A LESSON LEARNED... GET RESULTS! But they aren’t what used to grow on the land and may or may not be the best choice. Trees, shrubs and warm season grasses, native and well adapted, may be better. Goebel wants to know. Plant ing and design recommenda tions, rooted in his research, will follow. “We know from other states how effective grass buffers are at filtering sediment and nutrients from runoff,” Goebel said. “But for Ohio we really don’t know the specifics, and part of my re search is to get that information so we can start to mix and match different management options.” The goal, Goebel said, is to find the best combination for a farmer’s particular situation practices that when put together help both the farm and nearby waters. At the same time, Goebel and his co-researchers are develop ing “suites of reference condi tions” detailed profiles as to how the state’s riparian areas looked 200 years ago. Most were heavily wooded. But exactly what trees grew there and how they were distributed hasn’t been fully documented. “It’s impossible to restore things to how they they were 200 years ago,” Goebel said. “For ests are always changing. But we can try to direct (riparian) areas onto a successional trajectory that mimics those conditions and restores the functional pro cesses. That’s what we’re after.” WELL LANCASTER FARMING'S CLASSIFIED ADS Oil hot air furnace Essex Co 973-227-2768 MAILBOX MARKETS NOTICE
