A Complete Water Balance of a Constructed Stormwater Wetland

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Constructed wetlands are often overlooked as a stormwater management system in the urban context. In comparison to alternatives (e.g., green roofs, bioretention, bioinfiltration), constructed wetlands have a much larger space requirement, which comes at ...

Influence of Plant Species and De-Icing Salt on Microbial Communities in Bioretention. [PDF]

open access: yesEnviron Microbiol Rep
Plant species shape bioretention bacterial and fungal communities and their associated functions, which drive system efficiency. These results underscore the importance of plant selection when designing bioretention systems. Moreover, the communities were preserved or recovered within 5 months after the exposure to NaCl levels typical of spring runoff.

Removal of fecal coliforms from sewage treatment plant tailwater through AMF-Canna indica induced bioretention cells

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2023
Fecal coliform in the tailwater from sewage treatment needs to be deeply removed by chlorine disinfection, but ensuing disinfection by-products (DBPs) bring severe environmental and sanitary risks.

Influence of different ornamental shrubs on the removal of heavy metals in a stormwater bioretention system

open access: yesAdvances in Horticultural Science, 2020
Several laboratory studies have shown the ability of bioretention systems to remove pollutants from stormwater. However, to our knowledge, no existing research has addressed the use of ornamental shrubs for improving water quality in bioretention systems

Early Structural Changes of Constructed Soils in Bioretention Bed for Stormwater Infiltration

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
Properties of constructed soils determine the functioning of nature-based solutions, such as stormwater bioretention beds. Water infiltration, colloid transport and heat transport in the soil layer are affected by changes in pore system geometry of the ...

Hydraulic analysis of underground bioretention systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The conventional practices of urbanization significantly increase the flooding and water pollution. This is due to reduction in pervious areas. To minimize the problem, various concepts of low impact development have been implemented such as underground bioretention cells.

Impact of de-icing salt runoff in spring on bioretention efficiency

open access: yesBlue-Green Systems, 2023
We investigated the effect of de-icing salt in stormwater runoff on bioretention system hydrology and filtration of contaminants. Salt runoffs during the snow melt period were simulated in 20 mesocosms planted with 1 of 3 plant species (Cornus sericea ...

Plastic pollution risks in bioretention systems: a case study

open access: yesEnvironmental Technology, 2022
We investigated plastic pollution in soil-based stormwater bioretention systems (BRS), which are potentially important pollutant receptors and pathways. Our integrated study is the first of its kind, focusing on plastic abundance, size fractionation, composition, and interactions with urban metrics (including housing density and auxiliary stormwater ...
