Nitrogen balance estimation in a subsurface flow constructed wetland planted with Heliconia psittacorum for domestic wastewater treatment

The influence of vegetation (Heliconia psittacorum) and the main nitrogen elimination mechanism were studied via the mass balance method in a subsurface flow constructed wetland (HFSS). Six HFSS lab-scale units (microcosms) were built and filled out vertically with gravel and coarse sand. Three of...
