Abstract

Low Impact Development (LID) technologies offer enormous environmental benefits regarding ecosystem services, such as biodiversity support, carbon sequestration, and improved air quality. This study compares and quantifies soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in different LID technologies and investigates the factors affecting carbon storage. It was found that the SOC percentages ranged from 0.8 % to 4.5 % across LID technologies, with the surface constructed wetlands (SCW) and tree box filter exhibiting relatively higher content attributed to root turnover, stormwater runoff, and media composition. Moreover, SCW exhibited the highest SOC content compared to other technologies for the 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm layers. There were linkages identified between the soil's physico chemical properties, but the majority of the correlations were weak to moderate. Among the investigated soil physico chemical characteristics, TN exhibited considerable correlation with SOC content. Additionally, the results from the LID technologies were compared to findings from other studies, which emphasized the role of these technologies in carbon sequestration, green space expansion, and the promotion of environmental sustainability.

期刊介绍： Ecological engineering has been defined as the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and nature. The journal is meant for ecologists who, because of their research interests or occupation, are involved in designing, monitoring, or restoring ecosystems, and can serve as a bridge between ecologists and engineers. Specific topics covered in the journal include: habitat reconstruction; ecotechnology; synthetic ecology; bioengineering; restoration ecology; ecology conservation; ecosystem rehabilitation; stream and river restoration; reclamation ecology; non-renewable resource conservation. Descriptions of specific applications of ecological engineering are acceptable only when situated within context of adding novelty to current research and emphasizing ecosystem restoration. We do not accept purely descriptive reports on ecosystem structures (such as vegetation surveys), purely physical assessment of materials that can be used for ecological restoration, small-model studies carried out in the laboratory or greenhouse with artificial (waste)water or crop studies, or case studies on conventional wastewater treatment and eutrophication that do not offer an ecosystem restoration approach within the paper.
