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