Abstract

This paper describes a concept for combining the biomonitoring ability of plants with their capacity to block the transport of pollutants before they can contribute to habitat degradation. Biomonitoring and buffer zones have not yet been combined to create an effective biological system for detecting, monitoring and limiting the transport of pollution from anthropogenic sources to conserve biological diversity and prevent adverse effects. This paper presents a multi-zone biomonitoring buffer concept to achieve those goals.
