A review on nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms in subsurface flow constructed wetlands: dependency on environmental parameters, operating conditions and supporting media.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of wetland structures, classic and novel nitrogen and organics removal mechanisms along with the key environmental parameters and operational conditions that enhance removal in subsurface flow wetland systems shows the necessity of a profound knowledge on the complicated inter-relationship between nitrogen and Organics removal routes, governing environmental and operational parameters, and wetland matrix for improving the treatment performances of subsurfaced flow wetlands.

Microbial processes influencing performance of treatment wetlands: A review

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the microbial mechanisms responsible for removal of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur compounds in treatment wetlands and identifies, categorizes and compares various techni cations.

Sediment and nutrient retention by freshwater wetlands: effects on surface water quality

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes the mechanisms of freshwater wetland interaction with sediment and nutrients that affect surface water quality, including sedimentation, plant uptake, litter decomposition, retention in the soil and microbial processes.

The effects of season and hydrologic and chemical loading on nitrate retention in constructed wetlands: a comparison of low- and high-nutrient riverine systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the nitrate removal efficiency of two constructed wetlands receiving ambient river water to one constructed municipal wastewater treatment wetland over the same 2-year period in central Ohio, USA.

Buffer zones: their processes and potential in water protection

TL;DR: Haycock et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed the literature on riparian buffer zones and the factors which limit their effectiveness in various settings, with an emphasis on streams and water quality, and concluded that the knowledge base concerning the water quality buffering effects of riparian zones is far from adequate.

The measurement of upwelling and subsequent biological process by means of the Technicon Autoanalyzer® and associated equipment

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of the Technicon Autoanalyzer for the determination of phosphate, silicate and nitrate was described, together with continuous measurements of temperature and chlorophyll, to record the properties of surface water from a ship underway.

Nitrogen transformations and loss in flooded soils and sediments

TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review on nitrogen transformations functioning in flooded soils and sediments, and their role in nitrogen loss from the system is presented. But, the review is limited to two processes: ammonification and denitrification.
