Do macrophytes play a role in constructed treatment wetlands
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized how macrophytes influence the treatment processes in wetlands and concluded that the most important functions of the macrophyte in relation to the treatment of wastewater are the physical effects the presence of the plants gives rise to.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wetlands, carbon, and climate change
William J. Mitsch,William J. Mitsch,Blanca Bernal,Amanda M. Nahlik,Amanda M. Nahlik,Ülo Mander,Li Zhang,Li Zhang,Christopher J. Anderson,Christopher J. Anderson,Sven Erik Jørgensen,Hans Brix +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that most wetlands, when compared to methane emissions, do not have 25 times more CO2 sequestration than methane emissions; therefore, to many landscape managers and non specialists, most wetlands would be considered by some to be sources of climate warming or net radiative forcing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functions of Macrophytes in Constructed Wetlands
TL;DR: Macrophytes stabilise the surface of the beds, provide good conditions for physical filtration, prevent vertical flow systems from clogging, insulate against frost during winter, and provide a huge surface area for attached microbial growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of constructed wetlands in performance intensifications for wastewater treatment: A nitrogen and organic matter targeted review
TL;DR: Different operation strategies (recirculation, aeration, tidal operation, flow direction reciprocation, and earthworm integration), innovative designs, and configurations for the intensifications of the performance of intensified CWs mainly for the removal of nitrogen and organic matter are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of vertical flow constructed wetlands for on-site treatment of domestic wastewater: New Danish guidelines
Hans Brix,Carlos A. Arias +1 more
TL;DR: The vertical flow constructed wetland system is an attractive alternative to the common practice of soil infiltration and provides efficient treatment of domestic sewage for discharge into the aquatic environment as mentioned in this paper, but it is not suitable for outdoor applications.
