Visual tree buffer (zone or strip) Explanation: A tree buffer zone is used to Enhance appearance and increase property values in the City. Provide visual buffers and transitions between dissimilar land uses and protect abutting properties from potential negative impacts of neighboring development and to preserve the character and value of a property and provide a sense of privacy. Improve the visual quality of the City of Wilson and minimize the potential impacts of development such as noise, dust, and glare of lights. Improve the quality and efficacy of stormwater run-off while also providing opportunities for climatic control and reduced electricity costs. Contribute to the overall quality of life and the built environment -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 34 minutos (2018-02-06 15:52:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think a buffer zone is more accurate for your intended use in the context. A buffer strip seems to be more used for water bodies -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 minutos (2018-02-06 16:07:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.ilpork.com/producers/tree-buffer-program As seen in this site, you can also use tree buffer, without zone or strip Reference: http://www.wilsonnc.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/CH-8-Tree... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_strip |

Reference: Zone or strip? Reference information: I'm not sure if this is meant to be a "zone" or a "strip", but here's a couple of ideas: Trees along streams are so vital to the integrity of streams in climates like Ohio’s, they are given the name “forested buffer strips.” https://water.ohiodnr.gov/portals/soilwater/pdf/stream/stfs1... Trees and wooded buffer strips Trees planted on buffer strips can be visually attractive, help stabilise banks, provide valuable wildlife habitat and contribute leaf litter to the watercourse, but bear in mind that areas of wetland used by breeding waders are better left unplanted. http://adlib.everysite.co.uk/adlib/defra/content.aspx?doc=11... A buffer strip is an area of land maintained in permanent vegetation that helps to control air, soil, and water quality, along with other environmental problems, dealing primarily on land that is used in agriculture. Buffer strips trap sediment, and enhance filtration of nutrients and pesticides by slowing down runoff that could enter the local surface waters. The root systems of the planted vegetation in these buffers hold soil particles together which alleviate the soil of wind erosion and stabilize stream banks providing protection against substantial erosion and landslides. Farmers can also use buffer strips to square up existing crop fields to provide safety for equipment while also farming more efficiently. Buffer strips can have several different configurations of vegetation found on them varying from simply grass to combinations of grass, trees, and shrubs. Areas with diverse vegetation provide more protection from nutrient and pesticide flow and at the same time provide better biodiversity amongst plants and animals.[1][2] Many country, state, and local governments provide financial incentives for conservation programs such as buffer strips because they help stabilize the environment even when the land is being used. Buffer strips not only stabilize the land but can also provide a visual demonstration that land is under stewardship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_strip A buffer zone is generally a zonal area that lies between two or more other areas (often, but not necessarily, countries), but depending on the type of buffer zone, the reason for it may be to segregate regions or to conjoin them. Common types of buffer zones are demilitarized zones, border zones and certain restrictive easement zones and green belts. Such zones may be, but not necessarily be, comprised by a sovereign state, forming a buffer state. Buffer zones have various purposes, political or otherwise. They can be set up to prevent violence, protect the environment, protect residential and commercial zones from industrial accidents or natural disasters, keep prisoners intent on escaping from rapidly acquiring hostages or a hiding place, and have uses in several other scenarios. Buffer zones often result in large uninhabited regions which are themselves noteworthy in many increasingly developed or crowded parts of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_zone Forested/wooded visual buffer strip/zone? |
