Article Synopsis
- Urbanization is pushing cities to create green spaces that can attract urban wildlife, particularly birds, and one approach is using green infrastructure like bioretention cells to manage stormwater.
- A study in Columbus, Ohio found that these bioretention cells supported more diverse bird feeding behaviors compared to traditional lawns, but didn’t significantly increase overall bird species richness.
- The bioretention cells were small and new, suggesting they may need more time or better design to fully enhance habitat value for birds and potentially other wildlife in the long run.
