THE LANDSCAPE LAB: A DESIGNED EXPERIMENT TESTING ECOSYSTEM FUNCTION OF GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE IN ARID CITIES
Green infrastructure (GI) is often employed as a mitigation strategy for water quality and peak flows related to stormwater. Key limitations of GI are: (1) uncertain in situ effectiveness due to a paucity of replicated and controlled experiments testing functionality under common urban conditions and (2), GI often serves multiple functions including stormwater mitigation, aesthetic, and social functions in the urban environment. The Landscape Lab is a public garden and experimental facility at the University of Utah, established to test hypotheses related to GI ecosystem structure and function. The facility was developed through a participatory ecological planning process, by which researchers, campus managers, and landscape architects re-designed an extensive area of turfgrass lawn adjacent to an imperiled creek to address questions, hypotheses, and goals of stormwater green infrastructure, while also providing aesthetic and social functions for visitors. Eight bioswales on site will receive stormwater from parking lots and roofs, and are replicated to test the hypothesis that native plant species out-perform ornamental garden cultivars in terms of resource requirements and nutrient cycling. I will describe the process of collaboratively developing the multidisciplinary Landscape Lab and preliminary data from this facility.
