THE USE OF ARTIFICIAL WETLANDS TO TREAT GREENHOUSE EFFLUENTS [PDF]
Acta Horticulturae, 2011 Untreated greenhouse effluents or leak solution constitute a major environmental burden because their nitrate and phosphate concentrations may induce eutrophication. Artificial wetlands may offer a low cost alternative treatment of greenhouse effluents and consequently improve the sustainability of greenhouse growing systems.

Artificial wetlands and floating islands: Use of macrophytes
South Florida Journal of Development, 2022 Constructed wetlands, including floating islands, are a suitable technology for wastewater treatment. They are low cost and respectful with the environment, which is why they are significantly beneficial for agricultural irrigation systems. One of the limiting factors in structuring efficient constructed wetlands is the choice of plant species that can

Microbial community changes induced by Managed Aquifer Recharge activities: linking hydrogeological and biological processes [PDF]
, 2019 Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a technique used worldwide to increase the availability of water resources. We study how MAR modifies microbial ecosystems and its implications for enhancing biodegradation processes to eventually improve groundwater ...

Establishing Wetland Plants in Artificial Systems
Water Science and Technology, 1994 Emergent macrophytes selected for growth in artificial systems should be robust in habit, have a high biomass throughout the year, and be readily available in the local area. In south-western Australia potentially useful species fall either into the class of “sprouters”, which are readily established by rhizome transplants but not by seed; and ‘seeders

Wetland restoration design modifications to mitigate climate change impacts at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area: A case study report [PDF]
, 2020 Historic temperature and precipitation trends, and their projected climate change effects, were used to inform the development of wetland design tactics to restore a 30-acre degraded wetland at Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.

Clean and Green Urban Water Bodies Benefit Nocturnal Flying Insects and Their Predators, Insectivorous Bats [PDF]
, 2020 Nocturnal arthropods form the prey base for many predators and are an integral part of complex food webs. However, there is limited understanding of the mechanisms influencing invertebrates at urban water bodies and the potential flow-on effects to their

Can aggregate quarry silt lagoons provide resources for wading birds? [PDF]
, 2017 Wading birds have declined across Europe as the intensification of lowland agriculture has resulted in the loss and degradation of wetland areas. Lowland aggregate extraction sites that incorporate areas of fine, waste sediments deposited in silt lagoons
