This doctoral dissertation award will support an economic analysis         of riparian wetland forests in the agricultural midwestern United               States.  The purpose of the project is to test the hypothesis that              riparian wetland forests have been undervalued and therefore                    underproduced in the Corn Belt.                                                                                                                                      This project seeks to examine the benefits of riparian wetland             forest to society by developing a model that links floodplain land use          with economic values of environmental services.  Among the most                 promising alternatives for reducing the damage to streams and rivers is         protection of floodplain lands as riparian wetland forests.  This               project will have significance for policy regarding nonpoint pollution          control and farmland retirement programs.  It underlines the need to            recognize the importance of the interaction between water quality and           agricultural practices.
