Do macrophytes play a role in constructed treatment wetlands
TLDR
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.About:

Horizontal sub-surface flow and hybrid constructed wetlands systems for wastewater treatment
TL;DR: The first experiments using wetland macrophytes for wastewater treatment were carried by out by Kathe Seidel in Germany in early 1950s as mentioned in this paper and the horizontal sub-surface flow constructed wetlands (HF CWs) were initiated by Seidel and improved by Reinhold Kickuth under the name Root Zone Method in late 1960s and early 1970s and spread throughout Europe in 1980s and 1990s.

A review on nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms in subsurface flow constructed wetlands: dependency on environmental parameters, operating conditions and supporting media.
Tanveer Saeed,Guangzhi Sun +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of wetland structures, classic and novel nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms along with the key environmental parameters and operational conditions that enhance removal in subsurface flow wetland systems shows the necessity of a profound knowledge on the complicated inter-relationship between nitrogen and Organics removal routes, governing environmental and operational parameters, and wetland matrix for improving the treatment performances of subsurfaced flow wetlands.

Macropores and water flow in soils
Keith Beven,Peter F. Germann +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the importance of large continuous openings (macropores) on water flow in soils is discussed and the limitations of models that treat macropores and matrix porosity as separate flow domains are stressed.

Aeration in Higher Plants
TL;DR: This chapter collates the mathematical approaches to the aeration process and explains the concepts of modeling in a simplified manner, which have culminated in the modeling of the oxygen movements within the plant.

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.
