DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.02.041
Abstract: Abstract Stormwater biofilters are important tools for managing runoff in urban watersheds. To the authors’ knowledge, there have been no accounts examining the presence of mycorrhizal fungi in biofilters. This plant–fungi relationship is an important… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoleng.2017.02.064
Abstract: Abstract Complex metal compounds from urban wet deposition can be retained in stormwater biofilters and degraded to simple inorganic metal compounds. A mechanistic model that describes the bulk breakdown rate, accumulation, and leaching of copper… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110137
Abstract: The nitrous oxide (N2O) flux and its possible production pathways from stormwater biofilters in response to moisture content (MC) due to a shift from dry to wet weather was investigated. In this study, we evaluated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1573062x.2018.1508593
Abstract: ABSTRACT This study proposes a new stormwater biofilter validation approach, using a process-based model of micropollutant removal in stormwater biofilters. The model performance was assessed against in-situ challenge tests conducted on a field biofilter under… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1573062x.2021.1893353
Abstract: ABSTRACT Stormwater biofilters operate in alternating wet-dry cycles and subjects processes to distinct environmental conditions, particularly, moisture content. Pollutants in residual water may undergo chemical or biological transformation during the dry phase and affect pollutant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0222719
Abstract: Stormwater biofilters are used to attenuate the flow and volume of runoff and reduce pollutant loading to aquatic systems. However, the capacity of biofilters to remove microbial contaminants remains inadequate. While biochar has demonstrated promise… read more here.
