In Norway, eutrophication is a major problem for freshwater quality, mainly due to excess phosphorus (P) inputs from agricultural areas. Hence, vegetated buffer zones along water bodies have been used for decades to reduce soil and phosphorus losses from agricultural land to waterbodies. In Norway, buffer zones with grass production are the most popular since these are eligible for subsidies.

The efficiency of grass-covered buffer zones has previously been studied in areas with relatively steep slopes and high risk of surface runoff and erosion. However, more field-based knowledge is needed on the retention efficiency of grassed buffer zones in areas with gentle slopes. In addition, other functions of these zones such as reduced bank erosion, biodiversity, and food production, need to be explored. The latter is important since only 3% of Norway’s area is under cultivation.

Herein, we present the results of three years of monitoring and rainfall simulation experiments carried out along the Hobølelva River in SE Norway. Our aim was to investigate different functions of buffer zones, including the retention of nutrients and particles and the protection against bank erosion in buffer zones with different vegetation cover (grass, shrubs and trees). Results to be presented include comparisons of 1) retention of nutrients and soil practices as observed during a series of rainfall simulation experiments in the field, 2) soil and hydrogeology characteristics (texture, porosity, hydraulic conductivity, infiltration capacity etc.), and 3) stream bank hydrogeological monitoring and stability estimation under different vegetation.

Only a few studies have quantified and measured ecosystem services (ES) specifically related to soil. To address this gap, we have developed and applied a methodology to assess changes in ecosystem services, based on measured or estimated soil property changes that were stimulated by soil management measures (e.g., mulching, terracing, no-till). We applied the ES assessment methodology in 16 case study sites across Europe representing a high diversity of soil threats and land use systems. Various prevention and remediation measures were trialled, and the changes in manageable soil and other natural capital properties were measured and quantified. An Excel tool facilitated data collection, calculation of changes in ecosystem services, and visualization of measured short-term changes and estimated long-term changes at plot level and for the wider area. With this methodology, we were able to successfully collect and compare data on the impact of land management on 15 different ecosystem services from 26 different measures. Overall, the results are positive in terms of the impacts of the trialled measures on ecosystem services, with 18 out of 26 measures having no decrease in any service at the plot level. Although methodological challenges remain, the ES assessment was shown to be a comprehensive evaluation of the impacts of the trialled measures, and also served as an input to a stakeholder valuation of ecosystem services at local and sub-national levels.

The hydrological processes associated with vegetation and their effect on slope stability are complex and so difficult to quantify, especially because of their transient effects (e.g. changes throughout the vegetation life cycle). Additionally, there is very limited amount of field based research focusing on investigation of coupled hydrological and mechanical influence of vegetation on stream bank behavior, accounting for both seasonal time scale and different vegetation types, and none dedicated to marine clay soils (typically soil type for Norway). In order to fill this gap we established hydrological and mechanical monitoring of selected test plots within a stream bank, covered with different types of vegetation, typical for Norwegian agricultural areas (grass, shrubs and trees). The soil moisture, groundwater level and stream water level were continuously monitored. Additionally, soil porosity and shear strength were measured regularly. Observed hydrological trends and differences between three plots (grass, tree and shrub) were analysed and formed the input base for stream bank stability modeling. We did not find particular differences between the grass and shrub plot but we did observe a significantly lower soil moisture content, lower soil porosity and higher shear strength within the tree plot. All three plots were stable during the monitoring period, however modeling scenarios made it possible to analyse potential differences in stream bank stability under different vegetation cover depending on root reinforcement and slope angle.
