This article provides useful information for understanding the specific role of microbes in the
pollutant removal process in floating treatment wetlands (FTWs). The current literature is …

This paper reviews the factors affecting trace metal behaviour in estuarine and riverine
floodplain soils and sediments. Spatial occurrence of processes affecting metal mobility and …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Vertical flow constructed wetlands for wastewater and sludge treatment represent a
relatively new and still growing technology. Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands is the first …

Production and consumption processes in soils contribute to the global cycles of many trace
gases (CH4, CO, OCS, H2, N2O, and NO) that are relevant for atmospheric chemistry and …

Internal transport of gases is crucial for vascular plants inhabiting aquatic, wetland or flood‐
prone environments. Diffusivity of gases in water is approximately 10 000 times slower than …

Without roots there would be no rhizosphere and no rhizodeposition to fuel microbial activity.
Although micro-organisms may view roots merely as a source of carbon supply this belies …

Rice agriculture feeds about a third of the world's population. However, rice fields are also
an important source in the global budget of the greenhouse gas methane. The emission of …

Life evolved and flourished in the absence of molecular oxygen (02). As the 02 content of
the atmosphere rose to the present level of 21% beginning about two billion years ago …

Plant-assisted bioremediation or phytoremediation holds promise for in situ treatment of
polluted soils. Enhancement of phytoremediation processes requires a sound …
