This scientific journal article by Stephanie Hurley and others examines the greenhouse gas emission potential of bioretention systems. The researchers monitored eight roadside bioretention systems during two growing seasons to measure CO2-C and N2O-N fluxes. The study found that while there were season shifts in CO2 fluxes, bioretention systems are an overall net Carbon sink and not a significant source of N2O. The researchers give recommendations on how to further sequester carbon and nutrients in bioretention systems.
