Soil structure changes of engineered soils in bioretention cell

2022
<p>Engineered soils play an important role in urban hydrology e.g. in the functioning of green roofs and stormwater bioretention cells. Water infiltration, colloid transport, and heat transport are affected by changes in pore system geometry particularly due to the development of macropores and clogging by particles.

Topsoil Development in Bioretention Cells: What Are the Implications?

Low Impact Development Technology: Design Methods and Case Studies, 2015
A newly constructed bioretention cell is like any other natural system; it can be expected to change over time as its ecosystem develops and establishes itself. Among these changes is the development of an enriched organic layer, or topsoil, at the soil surface, which is produced as plants grow and decay, and colonizing invertebrates and bacteria ...

Evaluating hydrologic performance of bioretention cells in shallow groundwater

Hydrological Processes, 2017
AbstractBioretention cells, which are generally effective in controlling surface runoff and recharging groundwater, have been widely adopted as low impact development practices. However, shallow groundwater has limited their implementation in some locations due to the potential problems of a reduction in surface runoff control, groundwater pollution ...

Assessing Bioretention Cell Function in a Midwest Continental Climate

2004, Ottawa, Canada August 1 - 4, 2004, 2004
Non-point source pollution from developed/urban areas contributes significantly to water quality issues in the United States. As a result, it has become necessary to develop sustainable, cost-effective stormwater treatment systems. One system that is gaining acceptance is bioretention cells.

Application of biochar in modification of fillers in bioretention cells: A review

Ecological Engineering, 2022
Biochar has been widely used in soil improvement and bioretention cells because of its low carbon content, easy preparation, environmental protection, and excellent performance. This study reviews the element composition, morphological structure, adsorption, hydrophobicity, and water-retention capacity of biochar applications in bioretention.

Vegetation and Media Characteristics of an Effective Bioretention Cell

Journal of Sustainable Water in the Built Environment, 2016
AbstractA seven-year-old bioretention cell in Silver Spring, Maryland was surveyed for vegetation and media characteristics 11 months after last maintenance. Volunteer plants constituted more than half of the cell vegetation. Eutrochium dubium (Joe Pye weed) had the most coverage of all plant species at 43%.

Modeling Field-Scale Bioretention Cells with Heterogeneous Infiltration Media

Transactions of the ASABE, 2012
To address increasing stormwater management concerns in metropolitan and suburban areas, bioretention systems are a mitigation technology that helps address both water quantity and quality. However, it is critical for stormwater managers and engineers to model the hydraulic performance of these systems before investing in the infrastructure. This means

Microplastics removal from stormwater runoff by bioretention cells: A review

Journal of Environmental Sciences
Microplastics (MPs), as a new category of environmental pollutant, have been the hotspot of eco-friendly issues nowadays. Studies based on the aging process, the migration pattern of MPs in runoff rainwater, and the use of bioretention cells to remove MPs from runoff rainwater are beginning to attract widespread attention.

Bioretention cells remove increasingly small microplastics from stormwater

2022
Microplastics are a suite of pollutants of increasing concern within the aquatic, atmospheric and terrestrial environments. In particular, stormwater runoff is a significant entry pathway of microplastics into the downstream environment. In our previous study, we showed that microplastics greater than 106 μm in size can be efficiently removed and ...
