Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research in natural wetlands as well as constructed wetlands has increased exponentially in the past ten years. Wetlands, both natural and constructed, provide a wide range of ecological benefits or services that might include water quality improvement, nutrient processing, or carbon sequestration as well as recreation and habitat improvement. During the past few decades, many wetland-based water treatment technologies have been developed and tested, and now several of these are being applied as ecotechnologies for sustainable water management. Wetlands are also being used for resource recovery and crop production in paludiculture. Hence, wetlands contribute to ensuring sustainable water management and resource recovery while at the same time regulating and mitigating impacts of global climate change.
