Growing media in green infrastructure (GI) designed for stormwater management plays a critical role providing hydrological benefits. However, sediment deposition by urban can cause clogging and reduce the infiltration capacity. This study introduces new approach to characterise impact of GI that uses fluorescent tracer particles. Results are compared two contrasting growing media: Grey Green Su...

Evaluating the state of urban green infrastructure (UGI) is a basic step to reach sustainability. Two indicators were used evaluate 89 UGI sites in Zaragoza, medium-sized city NE Spain: Naturalness (Nat), related area covered by natural components; Functioning (Fun), showing hydro-geomorphological features. Complementarily, 15 biophysical and social variables characterize these sites. A princip...

The use of vegetation and infiltration into soils to manage stormwater water quality—called green infrastructure (GSI)—is now widely recognized as a viable alternative or supplement the pipes pumps conventional, “gray”, drainage infrastructure. Over years, much research has emerged regarding spatial aspects GSI implemented at large scales, including where it is located, should be what metrics b...

This study was undertaken to investigate molecularly the occurrence of EHV-1 and EHV-4 infection among equine population in regions, Iran. Blood samples from 53 and 37 randomly selected horses settled in Isfahan and Shahrekord, Iran, respectively, were collected. Detection of EHV-1 and EHV-4 genes in the blood samples was done using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 53 and 37 samples from...

The UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) call for the provision of universal access to: (a) safe, inclusive, and accessible green public spaces, (b) affordable, accessible, sustainable transport systems all. Barcelona axes plan aims to transform one third streets within its 19th century extension grid, increasing tree cover vegetation, adopting urban drainage systems, limiting motor t...
