Title	Effectiveness of Native Species Buffer Zones for Nonstructural Treatment of Urban Runoff

Creator	Glick, Roger H. Wolfe, Mary Leigh Thurow, Thomas L.

Description	A field study was conducted to determine the influences of vegetation composition, buffer width, and infiltration rate on the effectiveness of native vegetation buffer zones as nonstructural treatments of urban runoff with respect to increasing water quality.
