A Complete Water Balance of a Constructed Stormwater Wetland
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]
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.

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