This study focused on the diversity of bacterial communities from two series of two-stage constructed wetlands (CWs) treating tannery wastewater, under different hydraulic conditions. Series were separately planted with Typha latifolia and Phragmites australis in expanded clay aggregates and operated for 31 months. The effect of plant species, hydraulic loading and unit stage on bacterial commu...

—Little information exists on breeding Greater Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) in riparian wetlands of the Intermountain West. We examined the nesting ecology of Sandhill Cranes associated with riparian and palustrine wetlands in the Henry’s Fork Watershed in eastern Idaho in 2003. We located 36 active crane nests, 19 in riparian wetlands and 17 in palustrine wetlands. Nesting sites we...

The knowledge of selenium (Se) partitioning in treatment wetlands and wetland vegetation management are essential for long-term effective operation of constructed wetlands treating Se-laden agricultural tile-drainage in central California. In this field study, samples from different compartments of treatment wetlands were collected and the vegetation change in each wetland cell was examined fou...

Abstract Nutrient enrichment in lakes due to municipal wastewater discharge and agricultural run-off leads excessive growth of algae aquatic macrophytes leading their altered trophic states. This paper presents the effect wastewater-induced nutrient on anatomical changes elemental profiling three common freshwater India’s Central Gangetic Plain. It is observed that with increase state, biominer...

Growing productive wetland species on rewetted peatland (paludiculture) is a promising solution to offset carbon loss from drained peatlands. The inlet of nitrogen (N) rich surface water, proposed method improve productivity vegetation, may affect methane (CH4) emissions. This study aims compare initial CH4 emissions newly peat with different types vegetation and N loading simulating diffuse in...
