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.

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.

A community-scale study on nature-based solutions (NBS) for stormwater management under tropical climate: The case of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Thailand

Journal of Hydroinformatics
Rapid urbanization and population growth are placing more demands on the world's natural water resources. New infrastructures are increasing the degree of surface sealing as well as the tendency for urban flooding and water quality degradation.

Assessing the effects of four SUDS scenarios on combined sewer overflows in Oslo, Norway: evaluating the low-impact development module of the Mike Urban model

Hydrology Research, 2020
Paved surfaces, increased precipitation intensities in addition to limited capacity in the sewer systems, cause a higher risk of combined sewer overflows (CSOs).

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 ...

Impact of Low-Impact Development Technologies from an Ecological Perspective in Different Residential Zones of the City of Atlanta, Georgia

Engineering, 2018
Low-impact development (LID) technologies have a great potential to reduce water usage and stormwater runoff and are therefore seen as sustainable improvements that can be made to traditional water infrastructure.

Comparing dry and wet sieving with laser diffraction to the hydrometer method for particle size analysis of sandy bioretention soil media

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
Abstract Standardization of particle size analysis (PSA) is crucial to ensure the proper blending of stormwater filter media such as bioretention soil media (BSM). BSM typically contains >80% sand and is amended with organic matter and fines (silt and clay) to support pollutant removal.
