生态工程哲学博士-植物修复与生物修复

植物修复是许多利用细菌，真菌，绿色植物来稳定或修复受污染部位的过程的统称。这些生物的修复过程包括污染物的稳定化，过滤，提取，螯合和/或排毒。柳树和杨树等硬木树种用于营造促进蒸发的环境，以减少渗入污染土壤的过程。另外，改善的土壤环境更有利于降解过程。我们越来越多地参与评估绿色基础设施系统的性能，例如雨花园，绿色屋顶和生物保留盆地。与恢复生态学家和景观设计师的合作安排正在调查各种项目，例如基于本地植物的绿色屋顶植被系统的设计。我们在校园中有一个运转良好的雨水花园，该雨水花园装有水位和温度传感器，可以计算水平衡
Phytoremediation is a collective term for a number of processes that utilize bacteria, fungi, green plants to stabilize or remediate contaminated sites. Remediation processes by these organisms include stabilization, filtration, extraction, sequestration, and/or detoxification of contaminants. Hardwood species such as willow and poplar are used to create an environment that promotes evaporation to reduce percolation into contaminated soils. In addition, improved soil environment is more conducive to degradational processes. We are increasingly engaged in evaluating performance of green infrastructure systems such as rain gardens, green roofs and bioretention basins. Collaborative arrangements with restoration ecologists and landscape architects are investigating diverse projects such as design of green roof vegetated systems that are based on native plants. We have a functioning rain garden on campus that is instrumented with level and temperature sensors to compute the water balance and provide a resource for examining water quality improvements.
