“…The uptake rate usually depends on the plant type and plant growth rate. In fact, good plant growth with higher biomass will result in a better plant uptake and nitrogen removal [72][73][74][75][76], however, rapid plant growth rate also contributes to TN removal [77]. A study by Milandri et al [78] found that the rapid growth rate of the turf grasses, Pennisetum and Stenotaphrum, was effective in NH 3 (97%) and NO 3 − removal (>80%).…”

“…A study by Chen et al [79] showed that TKN concentration was significantly higher in the leaves and roots as compared to the stems of the Elateriospermum tapos plants. Plant roots also affect nitrogen removal, since thicker roots can take up a large amount of nitrogen [77]. In addition to direct plant nutrient uptake, vegetation can enhance microbial activity, and thus nitrogen removal [55].…”

“…There have been many attempts to improve nitrogen removal efficiency, with different methods being used such as adding a carbon source and saturation condition [63,110,111]. Several studies have pointed to an advancement of nitrogen removal in a bioretention system amended by a carbon source [77,95,[112][113][114]. Carbon source additives including newspaper, woodchips, compost, biochar, cockle shell, and coconut husk have been widely used.…”

A Review of Nitrogen Removal for Urban Stormwater Runoff in Bioretention System

One of the best management practices (BMPs) for stormwater quality and quantity control is a bioretention system. The removal efficiency of different pollutants under this system is generally satisfactory, except for nitrogen which is deficient in certain bioretention systems. Nitrogen has a complex biogeochemical cycle, and thus the removal processes of nitrogen are typically slower than other pollutants. This study summarizes recent studies that have focused on nitrogen removal for urban stormwater runoff and discusses the latest advances in bioretention systems. The performance, influencing factors, and design enhancements are comprehensively reviewed in this paper. The review of current literature reveals that a bioretention system shows great promise due to its ability to remove nitrogen from stormwater runoff. Combining nitrification and denitrification zones with the addition of a carbon source and selecting different plant species promote nitrogen removal. Nevertheless, more studies on nitrogen transformations in a bioretention system and the relationships between different design factors need to be undertaken.

“…Cockle shells were found to enhance removal of TSS and phosphorus, and also improved plant growth (Goh et al, 2015). Goh et al (2015) also found that tire crumbs contributed to poor plant growth in the media and did not improve pollutant removal relative to other additives.…”

“…Adding wood chips to bioretention media installed to develop an anoxic zone was able to increase denitrification (Peterson et al, 2015). Other organic materials that have shown mixed results for removing nutrients and heavy metals include potting soil, coconut coir, sludge, newspaper, and printed paper (Goh et al, 2015;. (Duranceau et al, 2015;Lee, Wang et al, 2015).…”

The following review presents a synthesis of 181 journal articles published during 2015 that represent progress toward better characterizing, controlling, and treating urban stormwater runoff. The review is structured by general topical areas related to (1) stormwater quality and quantity characterization; (2) engineered stormwater control and treatment practices, including erosion and sediment control, stormwater ponds, constructed stormwater wetlands, bioretention, permeable pavement, greenroofs, and rainwater harvesting systems; and (3) watershed-scale modeling and optimization of stormwater control and treatment practices. Common research themes emerging from this collection of studies include potential to enhance hydrologic and pollutant treatment performance of stormwater practices via media amendments and the use of innovative outlet control structures, as well as development of a more mechanistic understanding of hydrologic and water-quality functions to inform modeling and performance predictions. These studies serve to expand the field's knowledge base and will inform future efforts to further improve stormwater control and treatment at various spatial and temporal scales.
