The application of ornamental plants in constructed wetlands (CW) is increasingly interest to researchers, professionals actively involved wetland management and/or wastewater treatment (WWT), so it necessary know the trends this field research. objective study was develop a scientometric on use CWs for WWT during period 2002–2022. For this, search information carried out Scopus database, including all articles and reviews related field. analysis recovered documents allowed key aspects evolution production recent years, maturity research field, identify most used therefore gaps. Likewise, possible countries, relevant authors, main journals cited through which knowledge area disseminated. results showed that Mexico, Brazil, USA, China India have highest number publications CWs. It found are Canna, Iris, Heliconia Zantedeschia. This can help researchers new approaches concluded has aroused great since 2002; however, more still be with cold climates, influence substrate growth these plants.

Enthusiasm for and investments in nature-based solutions (NBS) as sustainable strategies climate adaptation infrastructure development is building among governments, the scientific community, engineering practitioners. This particularly true water security water-related risks. In a freshwater context, NBS may provide much-needed “win-wins” society environment that could benefit imperiled biodiversity. Such conservation benefits are urgently needed given ongoing biodiversity crisis, with declines species their habitats occurring at more than twice rate of marine or terrestrial systems. However, to make meaningful contributions safeguarding biodiversity, clear links must be established between applications priorities conservation. this paper, we link common six priority actions life by science n highlight research knowledge will necessary bring bear on crisis. particular, illustrate how can play direct role restoring degraded aquatic floodplain ecosystems, enhancing in-stream quality, improving hydrological connectivity ecosystems. System-level monitoring ensure deliver promised ecosystems species.

A review of advanced solutions in constructed wetlands for sustainable wastewater management

Physics of Fluids, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 37(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Wastewater management has become crucial as the global population grows. Construction wetlands (CWs) have emerged a promising way to treat wastewater, providing natural and cost-effective alternative. This review aims present state-of-the-art of CWs for sustainable wastewater management. The major parameters affecting constructed are characterized unit parameters, operational meteorological parameters. media vegetation, hydraulic loading rate flow rate. Among this, can be controlled by operators or design engineers whereas in case uncontrollable ones. study examines initially interaction between performance CWs. Then effect are, namely, temperature, wind speed, relative humidity on Furthermore, overall challenges faced critically reviewed, suitable recommendations suggested improve discussed. concludes that maximize CW efficiency, considerations include selecting appropriate (surface flow, subsurface hybrid), determining configuration system (horizontal vertical flow), substrate material, incorporating innovative technologies such solar-powered aeration systems biochar-amended substrates. In future, integrating with other advanced treatment technologies, enhancing plant species microbial consortia, adapting climate variations, developing better monitoring modeling methods.

An Experimental Assessment of Miscanthus x giganteus for Landfill Leachate Treatment: A Case Study of the Grebača Landfill in Obrenovac

Processes, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(3), С. 768 - 768

Опубликована: Март 7, 2025

Water pollution caused by landfill leachate, which contains high concentrations of heavy metals and organic contaminants, poses a serious environmental threat. Among the potential remediation strategies, phytoremediation using Miscanthus x giganteus (giant miscanthus) has gained attention due to its strong resistance harsh conditions capacity accumulate metals. This study evaluates effectiveness in treating with focus on removing key pollutants such as zinc (Zn), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu) simulating wetland conditions. A pilot-scale experiment conducted at Grebača site assessed plant’s ability enhance metal bioavailability, stabilize limit their mobility within leachate system. The results demonstrated that effectively mobilized Zn Ni through rhizospheric activity, whereas Cu remained largely immobile, indicating for phytostabilization. Sequential extraction analysis further confirmed plant significantly reduced mobile fractions soil, highlighting dual role both These findings suggest offers sustainable cost-effective approach treatment, serving viable alternative conventional methods. By integrating this nature-based solution into industrial municipal waste management, it promotes sustainability while enhancing efficiency.

Environmental Assessment of a Constructed Wetland with Ornamental Vegetation for Wastewater Treatment: A Sustainable Option for Neighborhoods (The Case of Veracruz, Mexico)

World, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6(2), С. 50 - 50

The discharge of wastewater into bodies water and subsoil poses a serious pollution problem. In many neighborhoods or districts, there are often no treatment systems due to the high costs involved, which may compromise human health. Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer an ecological solution improve quality enable its reuse. They promote removal contaminants through physical, chemical, biological processes. objective this study was evaluate Canna hybrids, Zingiber spectabile, Alpinia purpurata—ornamental plants not typical wetlands—regarding their function as phytoremediators growth under such conditions. Utilizing CWs with ornamental for in could adoption ecotechnology. To end, eight cells were built: two controls (without plants), contained had included purpurata, all designed hydraulic retention time three days. Inlet outlet samples collected biweekly six months. results showed that hybrids spectabile removed from 40 70% total nitrogen phosphorus. terms organic matter, measured COD TSS, removals ranged 55 90%. contrast, purpurata demonstrated rates only 30 50%, statistically lower (p ≤ 0.05), indicating slower adaptation wetland This adaptability is directly related species, also exhibited lowest rates. concluded using studied viable alternative treating and, at same time, they add commercial value vegetation. Additionally, can enhance aesthetic landscape colorful flowers attract birds insects treated be utilized irrigate sports areas urban planters.

Bibliometric Analysis of Constructed Wetlands with Ornamental Flowering Plants: The Importance of Green Technology

Processes, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 11(4), С. 1253 - 1253

Опубликована: Апрель 19, 2023

The use of constructed wetlands (CWs) for wastewater treatment has earned high interest around the world. However, innovations to improve its removal efficiency and adoption have been suggested in last decades. For instance, ornamental flowering plants (OFP), which make wetland systems more aesthetic is an option production commercial flowers while water cleansed. objectives this study were identify through a bibliometric analysis (2000–2022) main OFP that used CWs their functionality as phytoremediators (removal effects), well authors, collaborations, investigations, countries where such investigations carried out. To respect, 10,254 studies on identified. United States China leading eco-technology. Subsequently, regarding OFP, revealed 92 matter Mexico three researchers who lead (almost 40% publications with OFP), species studied include Canna hybrids, Zantedeschia aethiopica, Strelitzia reginae, Iris species, Spathiphyllum sp., Anturium sp. These may remove between 30–90% pollutants organic compounds, 30–70% heavy metals drugs, about 99.9% pathogens. Thus, help new design, know future research directionsand collaboration approaches area using multipurpose alternatives like those OFP. More can still be out temperate climates, evaluating influence different substrates flow growth these plants.
