Grant Description

The objective of this project is to evaluate the effects of plants and fungi on toxicity, water quality and hydraulic properties of bioretention cells. We will gain knowledge of whether plants and fungi help to remediate stormwater pollutants and nutrients. We will better understand the fate of pollutants in soils, plant, and fungal tissue. By studying the hydraulic properties over time we can determine if plants or fungi affect the hydraulic conductivity or the water holding capacity of the bioretention soil mix. These results will help to estimate the lifetime of a bioretention cell.
