Selection and Evaluation of Native Plants for Rain Gardens in Tropical Regions: A Dual‐Method Assessment Framework

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Rain gardens depend on resilient plant species that can withstand fluctuating moisture conditions while providing ecological and aesthetic benefits. This study addresses the limited research on tropical and native herbaceous species by evaluating their health through both visual and physiological assessment methods.

Heavy Metal Capture and Accumulation in Bioretention Media [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2008
Heavy metal capture and accumulation in bioretention media were investigated through the use of a one-dimensional filtration equation for particulate metals, advection/dispersion/adsorption transport equations for dissolved metals, and sequential extractions.

Performance characterisation of a stormwater treatment bioretention basin [PDF]

Journal of Environmental Management, 2015
Treatment performance of bioretention basins closely depends on hydrologic and hydraulic factors such as rainfall characteristics and inflow and outflow discharges. An in-depth understanding of the influence of these factors on water quality treatment performance can provide important guidance for effective bioretention basin design.

Evaluation of pollutant removal efficiency of a bioretention basin and implications for stormwater management in tropical cities [PDF]

, 2016
Non-point source pollution is a prevalent problem throughout the world. Bioretention basins have been deployed worldwide to treat stormwater runoff and alleviate eutrophication in downstream water resources.

Microplastic, an Emerging Threat to the Global Seagrass Ecosystems: A Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 1, Fall 2025.
ABSTRACT Seagrass, a type of marine plant that grows into meadows in intertidal zones and shallow coastal waters, can contribute to numerous ecological and economic benefits. Benefits include carbon sequestration, habitat for marine species, coastal protection, and raw materials for medicines and fertilizer production.

Controlling Saturation to Improve Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance (PFAS) Removal in Biochar-Amended Stormwater Bioretention Systems

Environmental Science
Black carbon-amended bioretention systems are an increasingly popular strategy for the removal of organic contaminants, including poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and other trace organic contaminants (TOrCs), from urban stormwater....

Recommendations for built marine infrastructure that supports natural habitats

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 6, August 2025.
The extent of built marine infrastructure—from energy infrastructure and ports to artificial reefs and aquaculture—is increasing globally. The rise in built structure coverage is concurrent with losses and degradation of many natural habitats. Although historically associated with net negative impacts on natural systems, built infrastructure—with ...
