Assessment on the cumulative effect of pollutants and the evolution of micro-ecosystems in bioretention systems with different media

Bioretention system is one of the most used green stormwater infrastructures (GSI), and its media is a key factor in reducing runoff water volume and purifying water quality. Many studies have investigated media improvement to enhance the pollutant removal capacity. However, the long-term cumulative...

Assessment on the cumulative effect of pollutants and the evolution of micro-ecosystems in bioretention systems with different media
description Bioretention system is one of the most used green stormwater infrastructures (GSI), and its media is a key factor in reducing runoff water volume and purifying water quality. Many studies have investigated media improvement to enhance the pollutant removal capacity. However, the long-term cumulative effect and microbial effect of pollutants in the modified-media bioretention system is less known. This study investigated the cumulative effect of pollutants and their influence on microbial characteristics in conventional and modified media bioretention system. The addition of modifiers increased the background content of pollutants in the media, and the accumulation of pollutants in planting soil (PS) and bioretention soil mixing + water treatment residuals (BSM+WTR) was relatively higher after the simulated rainfall experiment. The accumulation of pollutants led to a decrease in dehydrogenase activity, and an increase in urease and invertase activities. Ten dominant bacterial species at the phylum level were found in all bioretention systems. The relative abundances of the bacteria with good viability under low nutritional conditions decreased, while the species which could live in the pollutant-rich environment increased. The accumulation of pollutants in the bioretention system led to the extinction of some functional microorganisms. The better the effects of modified media on pollutant removal showed, the more obvious effect on the media micro-ecosystem was. To ensure the long-term efficient and stable operation of the modified-media bioretention system, we recommend balancing the pollutant removal efficiency and cumulative effect in modified-media bioretention systems.
