Effects of eutrophication and Typha domingensis Pers on methanogenesis in tropical constructed wetland Efeitos da eutrofização e da Macrófita Aquática Typha domingensis Pers sobre a metanogênese em alagados construídos tropicais

AIM: Constructed wetlands (CWs) have shown to be an efficient way for removing nutrients from wastewaters. However, a negative effect is the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs).
