Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural and constructed wetlands are both important ecosystems with different environmental attributes (wastewater treatment, habitat, water reuse, nutrient cycles, carbon pool); however, they are also some of the most sensitive systems to disturbance (natural wetlands) and abandonment, in the latter case if there is no follow up on their operations of constructed/treatment wetlands.
Conserving, protecting, and creating wetlands requires understanding the importance of ecosystems and the interactions between the soil or substrate, plants, water, and microorganisms. Furthermore, any intervention must be aligned with sustainable development goals, involving social, academic, and governmental participation.
This Special Issue focuses on sustainable natural and constructed wetland management to obtain benefits through their environmental services.
