Article Evaluation
Evaluating Surf Music

within history, there was a sentence referring to the definition of reverb. There was no citation of where the definition came from.

Wrote "probably the single-most famous surf tune" this implies opinion of music due to no citation to proof that it was a top chart or most listened to song during that time period.

Citation needed for chart toppers for "Wipe Out"

Tree Box Filter
Tree box filters are a type of filtration system used for storm drainage in urbanized areas. They are thought to decrease the need for potable water and therefore reduce the amount of water and price of water.

I think that this could become a popular new way for cities to help the environment. It increases the amount of trees in the city and reduces the price of storm drains and potable water. By reducing the need for water cities can save millions of gallon of the scarce resource. It is also important for the environment to increase the amount of trees as many are subject to deforestation as the earth becomes more populated.

It has to do with global issues because water is a scarce source and the whole world needs it. It also has to do with the environment so multiple countries and cities could consider doing this. After doing more research there could be trail periods of this type of filtration system in multiple cities worldwide.

(October 2014) Tree box filters[1] are typically filtration systems installed under a street or sidewalk which have trees planted in them. The systems collect stormwater runoff through methods such as permeable pavers or curb cuts. The runoff is then filtered by soil, microbes and vegetation before either being utilized by the tree or discharged into a storm drain system.

Benefits[edit] Tree box filters have the potential to improve the quality and health of street trees by providing larger areas for roots to stabilize the tree and more availability of water and nutrients. Additionally, the filters can delay the peak flow and improve the water quality of water entering a storm drain system. It is a practical management strategy for stormwater issues in urban settings.[2]

Tree Box Filter Revision

Tree box filters have been implemented on the University of New Hampshire (UNH) Campus. There was a study done by the Stormwater center; and in 2012 a Biennial Report came out. It referred to the best management practices; tree box filters included. Tree Box Filters are used within urban landscaping and their main purpose is drainage, more specifically stormwater runoff. There are two types of systems; proprietary systems and non-proprietary systems. “The difference being the level of design and ease required for use.” (pg.22) The longevity of trees has improved; they are no longer starved of nutrients and water in an urban setting. Depending on the environment there can be open-bottom chambers or closed-bottom chambers. Types of soils, groundwater level, or the percentage of contamination in certain areas will affect what type of chamber is used.

Tree box filters are relatively cheap, costing only $6,000 dollars per system. Half of that price is for labor and installation the other half is used to buy materials and the plantings. The tree box filters used at UNH required minimal maintenance after the initial installation. They were able to reduce trash pickup because trash would fall into the grates surrounding the trees. During the study, there was a need for long term maintenance. This was vacuuming and raking the top 2 inches of soil underneath the box grate. Leaf and trash removal had to be done more frequently to keep the filtration system from getting clogged up. In 2008 a parking lot had a sealcoat job; afterwards there was a noticeable reduction in the filtration system. The first two inches of soil were removed, found within were particles of sealcoat, an impermeable surface that reduced the effectiveness of the tree box filter. The runoff of impermeable surfaces was a concern of the study, because tree box filters are predominately found in urban areas where surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, etc. are being used.

There was no necessary replacement of the trees as long as there was a select hardiness, as well as a reduced aggression of the roots. If the roots grew too much — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grims15NEC (talk • contribs) 01:30, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
