Biology
1 answer:
natta225 [31]4 years ago
7 0

A riparian buffer is usually a piece of land along a water course, where no farming is allowed with the purpose of protecting the water course.

A riparian buffer is important for protection of water quality. Riparian zones help sediments, phosphorous, nitrogen, pesticides and other pollutants from reaching a river or stream.

The root system of plants, shrubs and trees growing on the riparian buffer land stabilize the soil, and thus prevent sediments and pollutants from entering the water body .

The medulla in humans is thinner than in animals: the medullary index for human hairs is 0.33 or less; the medullary index for animal hairs is 0.5 or more.
