Urbanization has replaced natural permeable surfaces with roofs, roads, and other sealed
surfaces, which convert rainfall into runoff that finally is carried away by the local sewage …

Bioretention is a popular best management practice of low impact development that
effectively restores urban hydrologic characteristics to those of predevelopment and …

Green infrastructure aims to restore watershed hydrologic function by more closely
mimicking pre-development groundwater recharge and evapotranspiration (ET) …

The demand for living space is rising in growing cities. To restrict urban expansion in the
outskirts, a common strategy is to densify existing neighbourhoods. Densification implies the …

This chapter outlines the general impacts and direct consequences climate change is likely
to have on urban areas in Europe and how nature-based solutions (NBS) could increase our …

Bioretention cells are a popular control strategy for stormwater volume and quality, but their
efficiency for water infiltration and nutrient removal under cold climate conditions has been …

Stormwater biofilters have the ability to remove nutrients from stormwater. Reliable pollutant
removal during the cold season is particularly important due to the comparably high …

Many bioretention models still incorporate simplifications and lumped parameters that do not
fully account for fundamental physical processes. This review summarizes the …

Bioretention cells are a type of low-impact development technology that, over the past two
decades, have become a critical component of urban stormwater management. Research …

Bioretention systems are green infrastructures increasingly used to manage urban
stormwater runoff. Plants are an essential component of bioretention, improving water …
