| − | #Which of these is typically not considered a green stormwater infrastructure practice?
| |
| − | ##Constructed wetland
| |
| − | ##Permeable pavement
| |
| − | ##Underground sand filter
| |
| − | ##Vegetated filter strip
| |
| − | #True or false: All GSI practices are vegetated
| |
| − | #True or false: All vegetated GSI practices incorporate native vegetation into the practice
| |
| − | #Rank these in order of benefit for habitat
| |
| − | ##Bioretention
| |
| − | ##Constructed wetland
| |
| − | ##Filter strip
| |
| − | ##Green roof
| |
| − | #Rank these in order of benefit for energy savings
| |
| − | ##Harvest and reuse
| |
| − | ##Bioretention
| |
| − | ##Green roof
| |
| − | #Which of these is likely not a benefit of native vegetation?
| |
| − | ##Increases pollinator diversity
| |
| − | ##Improves soil hydrologic function
| |
| − | ##Reduces maintenance needs during establishment
| |
| − | ##Provides habitat for a wider range of species (i.e. increases biodiversity)
| |
| − | #Explain
| |
| − | ##Plugs are generally preferred over seed in establishing vegetation in bioretention practices
| |
| − | ##Mulch is recommended in some GSI practices but not others
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Answers
| |
| − | #Underground sand filter
| |
| − | #False: examples of non-vegetated practices include but are not limited to permeable pavement and underground infiltration
| |
| − | #False: while preferred in most situations, native vegetation is not necessary for practices considered to be GSI. An example would be irrigation of an athletic field from a harvest/reuse system.
| |
| − | #Constructed wetland > bioretention > green roof > filter strip
| |
| − | #Green roof > harvest/reuse > bioretention
| |
| − | #Reduces maintenance needs during establishment
| |
| − | #Explanations
| |
| − | ##Seed is easily washed away in any practice involving moving water, including bioretention
| |
| − | ##Mulch can inhibit seed germination and seedling growth and can also be washed away, depending on the mulch properties. However, mulch is recommended in practices where seedling establishment is not a concern. Mulch can provide several benefits, including soil protection, improved soil structure, and improved soil hydrology.
