Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors have submitted an interesting manuscript that reports the potential constructed wetlands as a landscape management practice for nutrient removal from agricultural runoff- a local practice case on the east coast of Taiwan.

In my opinion is an outstanding and complete case study that considering the aim, methodology and results merits to be published in the journal, with minor corrections.

I suggest the following improvements:

Add a new figure below figure 1 detailing the situation of the four plots constructed wetlands and rice paddy fields without constructed wetlands used as reference.

Conclusions section should be rewrite.
