Pontederia cordata, a horticulturally valuable ornamental plant, exhibits cadmium (Cd) tolerance, but its photosynthetic response to Cd stress has not been fully elucidated. Here, we employed hydroponics to investigate the effects of varying Cd conce...
Due to manganese mining and slag accumulation, the geological structure of the wetland polluted by heavy metals in Xiangtan Manganese Mine area was seriously damaged, hence biodiversity loss, severe soil, and water pollution, as well as serious heavy...
Here, we used a radioactive distribution approach for water samples from the Liu Shao Yan constructed wetland to investigate the horizontal advection of cadmium (Cd) in this urban constructed wetland. The objective of this study was to assess the eff...
The main purpose of this study is to analyze whether Cd2+ affects the absorption of Ca2+ and Fe2+ by the roots of five wetland plants and the toxic mechanism of cadmium on the subcellular structure. Five wetland plant samples were collected from the...
At present, studies on hydrophyte periphytic biofilm have mainly focused on natural water bodies or low-strength wastewater due to the inability of most plants to grow in high-strength wastewater. Therefore, the formation process and characteristics...
This study aimed to investigate the removal of β-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) at realistic concentration levels (10 µg/L) in different plant species in constructed wetlands (Acorus calamus, Canna indica, Thalia dealbata, and Ponteder...
Nutrient enrichment of surface waters degrades water quality. Municipalities need effective and economical solutions to remove nutrients from surface waters. From July 2016 to May 2020, full-scale (900 m2, 5% cover) floating treatment wetlands (FTWs)...
