Riparian forest buffers have been a centerpiece of Maryland's efforts to restore Chesapeake Bay water quality and provide benefits from water quality to carbon sequestration. Dr. David Newburn of the University of Maryland (UMD) presents research that evaluates the effectiveness of incentives aimed at increasing riparian buffer adoption and the environmental benefits they provide. This research was funded by the UMD Harry R. Hughes Center for Agro-Ecology.
