Removal of nutrients in various types of constructed wetlands.
TLDR
The processes that affect removal and retention of nitrogen during wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands (CWs) are manifold and include NH(3) volatilization, nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, plant and microbial uptake, mineralization, mineralification, nitrate reduction to ammonium, anaerobic ammonia oxidation, fragmentation, sorption, desorption, burial, and leaching.About:

Constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment
TL;DR: The first experiments using wetland macrophytes for wastewater treatment were carried out in Germany in the early 1950s and since then, the constructed wetlands have evolved into a reliable wastewater treatment technology for various types of wastewater as discussed by the authors.

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.

TL;DR: The critical loading for good ecological state in lakes has to be lowered in a future warmer climate, which calls for adaptation measures, which in the northern temperate zone should include improved P cycling in agriculture, reduced loading from point sources, and (re)-establishment of wetlands and riparian buffer zones.

The use constructed wetlands with horizontal sub-surface flow for various types of wastewater
TL;DR: In this paper, constructed wetlands with horizontal sub-surface flow (HF CWs) have been used for wastewater treatment for more than 30 years and have been designed to treat municipal or domestic wastewater.

Plant Physiological Ecology
TL;DR: This textbook is notable in emphasizing that the mechanisms underlying plant physiological ecology can be found at the levels of biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology and whole-plant physiology, well-suited to assess the costs, benefits and consequences of modifying plants for human needs, and to evaluate the role of plants in ecosystems.

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation discovered in a denitrifying fluidized bed reactor
TL;DR: Anaerobic ammonium oxidation is a new process in which ammonium is oxidized with nitrate serving as the electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions, producing dinitrogen gas, and has been given the name ‘Anammox’ (anaerobic ammonia oxidation), and has be patented.
