  • Enhancing SWMM-UrbanEVA for continuous long-term water balance analysis of green infrastructure

    Open AccessLea Rosenberger, Jorge Leandro et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    The EPA Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) is widely used to simulate runoff quantity and quality in drainage systems. With the SWMM-UrbanEVA extension, evapotranspiration of green infrastructure is better represented by incorporating vegetation-specific components, improving the analysis of the water balance for sustainable cities. However, accurate modeling of the long-term water balance is challenging due to the sensitivity of results to the c…

  • Recycled demolition waste in engineered substrate promotes long-term urban tree growth and ecosystem services in a temperate city

    Open AccessSebastian Knoll, Swantje Duthweiler et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2025

    Brick-enhanced aggregates enhance growth of Tilia cordata by alleviating drought. • Aggregates with cement, mortar, and plaster reduce tree performance under drought. • Brick-enhanced aggregates increase transpiration cooling and carbon fixation. • Soil pH in recycled substrates stabilized at tree-compatible levels over time. • Selective recycling of demolition waste supports climate-resilient urban greening. Urban trees are critical for mitigati…

  • The potential of processed mineral construction and demolition waste to increase the water capacity of urban tree substrates - A pilot scale study in Munich

    Open AccessSebastian Knoll, Simon Mindermann et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2024

    Construction and demolition waste (CDW) represents one of the most significant waste streams worldwide. Due to a high brick content, CDW amended soil substrates are expected to improve water retention, benefitting urban trees. In this two-year field study evaluating the effects of CDW on the water holding capacities of urban tree substrates, six substrate mixtures are tested. Three test substrates contained a standard CDW mixture with 30 % and th…

  • Influence of age, soil volume, and climate change on water availability at urban tree sites

    Open AccessLea Rosenberger, Jorge Leandro et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2024

    Conditions for trees are challenging in urban areas with a high degree of soil sealing combined with changing climatic conditions. Stress is a primary mortality factor, especially for young trees that do not yet provide ecosystem services such as sufficient cooling. Therefore, sustainable tree planting in an urban environment must create conditions so a tree can grow into a large tree and be preserved for a long time. We developed a daily water b…
