The Role of Plant Age in Biodrainage
Young Plants (0–3 years)
Still establishing roots. Low water use. Minimal impact on groundwater.
Adolescent Plants (3–10 years)
Rapid canopy expansion. Deepening root systems. Noticeable improvement in wet areas.
Mature Plants (10–30+ years)
Peak water‑use capacity. Maximum groundwater‑lowering effect. Most valuable stage for biodrainage.
Aging Plants (30–50+ years)
Canopy thins. Transpiration declines. Effectiveness gradually decreases.
Biodrainage is strongest when trees are in their mature growth phase. Replacing declining trees ensures the system stays effective for decades.
