#EESpublishes: Profs Cheng, Groffman and Muth, Post Doc Deeb and Prithiviraj, and PhD student Paltseva on Green Infrastructure Design Influences Urban Soil Bacteria Communities

Another publication is forthcoming from our Urban Soils group headquartered at Brooklyn College; “Green Infrastructure Design Influences Urban Soil Bacteria Communities” is the new work by Joyner, Kerwin, Deeb, Lozefski, Paltseva, Prithiviraj, McLaughlin, Cheng, Groffman, and Muth. The importance of natural ecosystem processes is often overlooked in urban areas. Green Infrastructure (GI) features have been constructed in urban areas as elements to capture and treat excess urban runoff while providing a range of ancillary benefits, e.g., ecosystem processes mediated by microorganisms that improve air and water quality, in addition to the associations with plant and tree rhizospheres.
