Effects of Forestry Streamside Management Zones on Stream Water Quality, Channel Geometry, Soil Erosion, and Timber Management in the Virginia Piedmont
… objectives include determining if a 50-foot streamside management zone (SMZ) as described in the Virginia BMP Manual (VDOF 2002) is generally sufficient to protect stream water quality, riparian soils, and stream bank integrity in headwater streams where forest harvesting has taken place, as …

Watershed and Streamside Management Zone Characterization in the Allegheny Plateau of West Virginia
The Streamside Management Zone (SMZ) is a cornerstone of forestry Best Management Practices to protect streamwater quality from non-point source pollution resulting from silvicultural operations. However, the exact width and harvest intensity of SMZs that best protects water quality while allowing …

Nutrient Movement in Streamside Management Zones and Piedmont Streams Following Forest Fertilization
Many states' Best Management Practices (BMP) programs established Streamside Management Zone (SMZ) widths based on limited or inadequate data with regard to nutrient fluxes from silvicultural activities. Previous studies in forested watersheds have shown slight post-harvest increases of several …

Streamside Management Zone effectiveness for protecting water quality following forestland application of biosolids
… to increase nutrient availability. Retaining streamside management zones (SMZs) can limit nutrient pollution of streams. We delineated 15 m SMZs along three intermittent streams in an 18-year-old Pinus taeda L. plantation. We applied biosolids outside the SMZ on one side of each of the streams …
