Yes, certainly. What is happening in the Essex County-Chatham area now is that most of the lands have been rented, and the riparian buffers are being plowed down in order to get more land under agriculture. This means that the ecosystem service you just mentioned, sir, is no longer going to be there. What is going to happen is that the nutrient loading is going to start to continue into the water bodies. They are removing riparian buffers mainly because they want more land area and more productivity.
If that area is dedicated to perennial trees and if the landowners can be compensated for the revenue loss that they could derive from that small parcel of land, I'm sure they'd be very happy to have the trees in that portion, which will not only contribute to the ecosystem services and water quality, but will also sequester carbon. If the carbon trading comes about, they could also get some revenue from carbon trading.
The main point is that there are no incentives now for any landowners to have trees.
