Ecosystem Services - 3D Bufferstrips

This podcast is part of a series that is exploring the diverse range of ecosystem services are supplied by Scotland’s rural sector’s stock of natural capital. The topics included within the series are Agroforestry and Arable.Listen and learn more about 3D bufferstrips from Marc Stutter.Marc is soil and water scientist at the James Hutton Institute who lives on a small Aberdeenshire farm. His interest in the environmental quality of streams, controlling nutrient pollution. Work with colleagues on flood mitigation and soil loss showed how simple natural processes can be re-designed back into more uniform river corridors to enhance beneficial processes; this led to the 3D buffers concept.
