Enhancing nitrate and phosphorus removal from stormwater in a fold-flow bioretention system with saturated zones

The traditional bioretention systems possess a remarkably low nitrogen and phosphorus removal effect. The removal rate fluctuates greatly, and even appears as negative removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. Four simulated bioretention experimental columns with different bilayer media, packing compositi...
