  1. Streamside Management Zone effectiveness for protecting water quality following forestland application of biosolids

    Pratt, W. AaronVirginia Tech2008

    … 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 …

  2. Watershed and Streamside Management Zone Characterization in the Allegheny Plateau of West Virginia

    Sharp, Elizabeth P.Virginia Tech2003

    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 …

  3. Relationships Between Streamside Management Zone Width and Biotic Communities of Headwater Streams in West Virginia

    Corrao, Jason JamesVirginia Tech2005

    The importance of streamside management zones (SMZ) in minimizing the impact of non-point source pollution from silvicultural operations is recognized by the forestry Best Management Practices of most states. However, research concerning the SMZ width and harvesting intensity required to maintain …

  4. Logging in the Streamside Management Zone: Effects of Harvesting System and Intensity on Visual Soil Disturbance

    Hodges, Christine LambVirginia Tech2006

    Streamside management zones (SMZs) are a common and effective mechanism used to protect and maintain water quality during timber harvesting operations. In the southeastern United States timber harvesting is typically allowed inside the SMZ, but there is little information regarding suitable types …

    Wadl, Erica FritzVirginia Tech2008

    … Act of 1972 promoted the establishment of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for forestry. A commonly used BMP is the reservation of Streamside Management Zones (SMZs). In this study the effectiveness of three different SMZ widths, 30.5 m (100 ft), 15.3 m (50 ft), and 7.6 m (25 ft), as well as …

  7. Arthropod damage in corn across site-specific management zones and differing water and nitrogen levels

    Davidson, Silas Andrew, author, Peairs, Frank, advisor, Hein, Gary, committee member, Khosla, Rajiv, committee member, Holtzer, Thomas, committee memberColorado State University. Libraries2005

    Site-specific insect management has the potential to make pest management more efficient, but has yet to be implemented. One method of implementing site-specific management would be to make decisions at the management zone level. Management zones are homogenous subregions within a field that can be …

  9. Nutrient Movement in Streamside Management Zones and Piedmont Streams Following Forest Fertilization

    Secoges, Joseph MichaelVirginia Tech2009

    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 …
