Optimizing Eco-Efficiency of green Infrastructure: A comparative study of woody plant species Utilizing SWMM-HYDRUS model and Analytic Hierarchy process by Bei Zhang, Zheng Liang, Lidong Zhao, Letong Ma, Shouhua Zhang, Taolve Gao, Liang Chen

“…To explain the overarching patterns of GIs dominated by representative woody plants and their influence on urban environmental conditions, a coupled HYDRUS-1D and SWMM model (NSE ≥ 0.64 and R2 ≥ 0.71) was developed to simulate the hydrological response of various root systems employed in woody plant cultivation in urban areas. The analysis of surface runoff regulation revealed that the average reduction rate of runoff in GIs increased from 57 % to 73 % as the planting area expanded (5 % to 25 %) during a design rainfall event with a 2-year recurrence interval. …”
