- Thesis
- Nitrogen retention capacity of riparian revegetation
- Description
- Nitrate is a significant contaminant of Australian waterways. This project is investigating the effects that revegetation of degraded riparian zones has on the nitrogen transformation and retention processes occurring both in-stream and in the riparian zone. This will identify how revegetation affects riparian soil and the in-stream environment to influence nitrogen processing. The project outcomes are hope to provide information and guidance as to maximise nitrogen retention processes in riparian management activities.
