Nitrate contamination in ground and surface waters is of great concern to environmentalists. A two-dimensional model of water and solute movement in soils was used to test the usefulness and relative advantages of a two-dimensional model over a one dimensional model for analysis of deep percolation and nitrate leaching in...
This study investigated the effect of plant surface
area (plant density) on the efficiency of organic carbon
removal in a bench-scale constructed wetland.
Constructed wetlands are commonly assumed to be biofilm
reactors in which organic carbon removal occurs primarily
through sedimentation and aerobic degradation by attached
microbial biofilms. In conventional...
