TL;DR: In this paper, the life cycle net carbon footprint of various vegetated water sensitive urban design (WSUD) technologies including green roofs, rain gardens, bioretention basins, vegetated swales and stormwater ponds, have been reviewed and analyzed including their carbon sequestration potential.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors sampled five Melaleuca wetlands and measured their C and N ecosystem stocks (aboveground biomass and soil), tree accumulation rates, sedimentation rates, and soil stability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured denitrification rates during a dry and a wet season in five floodplain forests dominated by Melaleuca spp., a coastal freshwater wetland of tropical Australia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the spatial, temporal and vertical variation of carbon capture in the soil of 25 subtropical bioretention basins in Australia and used a thirteen-year soil chronosequence to estimate carbon sequestration rate.

TL;DR: To improve the performance of these bioretention basins, it is recommended increasing vegetation at initial years after construction, and enhancing more frequent anaerobic conditions in the high soil profile, which can improve denitrification potential, and thus theperformance of these basins for improving water quality.
