Characterizing the Impact of Freshwater Salinization on Engineered Ecosystems: Implications for Performance, Resilience, and Self-Repair Through Phytoremediation
Stormwater detention basins are commonly used in the Eastern United States to temporarily store and attenuate stormwater runoff, and also serve as habitats for native and exotic plants. However, during winter, these basins receive saline runoff from road salt application, which contributes to …

Development and application of a microbial reliability model to analyze denitrifying biofilter stability
… influent nitrate to nitrogen gases. As with many engineered ecosystems, performance stability of the biofilters is of concern. While much research has focused on stability concepts in ecology, there is no consensus on the nature of the relationships between microbial diversity, functional …

Investigating the roles of microbial immigration in wastewater treatment processes
… It has been widely observed in natural and engineered ecosystems, such as lakes, rivers, drinking water treatment distribution systems, and wastewater treatment processes. Immigration can play important roles in biological wastewater treatment because different bioreactors are physically …

Towards bioengineered ecosystems: Three studies in invasion biology
"An important feature of ecosystems is their invasibility, i.e. their resistance to invasion by nonnative organisms. Invasion is a driver of change at scales as small as a bioreactor and as large as the scale of biogeography. Invasion can be either a desired outcome, for example in the use of …
