Constructed Wetlands and Nutrient Removal

Dear Colleagues,

As humans throughout the world struggle to manage poor water quality and enhance aquatic ecosystem health, the use of nature-based systems to clean water is increasing. Constructed wetlands are one such nature-based technology that has applications across multiple sectors of society and are also typically more economically feasible to install and maintain.

As guest editors for this Special Issue on “Constructed Wetlands and Nutrient Removal,” we invite you to submit original research papers, review papers, or short communications with preliminary but impactful findings for consideration for inclusion in this special issue.

We are keen to receive contributions reporting results on the full spectrum of constructed wetland designs used to mitigate nutrients from various source waters (municipal wastewater, irrigation return flow, industrial wastewater, agricultural runoff, urban stormwater, etc.). Contributions related to economics and ecosystem service quantification, resource recovery, or secondary uses of harvested materials from constructed wetlands (e.g., phosphate, biofuels, plants for restoration purposes) are also encouraged.

Authors are invited to submit a preliminary abstract and a tentative title to the Guest Editors to determine whether the topic fits the scope of the Special Issue.
