%X As an important component of riparian ecosystem, riparian vegetative buffer strip is a key measure to control water and soil loss and non-point source pollution and to improve water environment. And it has an important influence on the ecological and hydrological processes of riparian ecosystem. In this article, the research status of riparian vegetative buffer strip in China and abroad is reviewed and  the main functions, main factors and mechanism affecting its functional performance are summarized. Moreover, the design, management and benefit evaluation of the riparian vegetative buffer strip are expounded. The development trend of researches on riparian vegetative buffer strip in the future and the important directions which need  focuses are also put forward. This article could  provide reference and draw lesson for  future researches on riparian vegetative buffer strip and have  theoretical value and practical significance.
