A web search identified 69 relevant studies since 1998, highlighting various types of treatment wetlands designed at pilot and full scales. Horizontal subsurface flow (HSSF) systems and hybrid wetlands were most investigated, while full-scale studies were relatively scarce. Treatment wetlands were evaluated under diverse climatic conditions, particularly the Csa climate of the Köppen classification, with a primary focus on domestic (66 %) and industrial (14 %) wastewater treatment. Applications also extended to agriculture, leachate, aquaculture, greywater, livestock, and pharmaceuticals. The meta-analysis revealed the prevalent use of sand and gravel (15 ± 10.09 mm) as substrates, although contemporary materials like zeolite are emerging. Among 31 identified plant species, <em>Phragmites australis</em> was most frequently utilized. Key design criteria, such as hydraulic retention time (HRT), hydraulic loading rate (HLR), and the width-to-length ratio of reed beds, were estimated. HRT and HLR for HSSF wetlands were 3.35 ± 2.16 days and 10 ± 2 cm.day^-1, respectively, while hybrid wetlands were 4.15 ± 1.80 days and 59 ± 25 cm.day^-1. Effective operation and maintenance, including periodic vegetation harvest and even influent distribution, were crucial for optimal performance. HSSF and hybrid systems showed significant efficiency in removing various pollutants, with hybrid systems excelling in nitrogen removal due to oxygen variability in vertical and horizontal reed beds.

However, effectively retaining nutrients in cold conditions presents a challenge. This is due to the fact that herbaceous vegetation wilts during winter, becoming covered by snow and ice, and unable to actively absorb pollutants. Additionally, frozen soils restrict or completely prevent infiltration. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of buffers in reducing nutrient levels in agricultural overland flow in a semi-arid region of northern China. Runoff monitoring was conducted using twelve steel flumes, established at both the inflow and outflow of the RBZs at each site along the predicted overland flow path. Furthermore, phosphorus (P) concentrations were estimated in RBZ soil samples taken along the runoff flow line to gain further insights into nutrient dynamics within various RBZs. Analysis of runoff samples from 35 events throughout the study demonstrated that, in most instances, buffers have minimal to no impact on reducing the levels of nitrogen (N) and P species under snowmelt-generated runoff. Although the influence of buffers on nutrients was limited during the snowmelt period, they performed better during summer than in the autumn, resulting in a moderate reduction of TN and TP levels in 83 % of the sites. Furthermore, the available P concentrations in the soil of 50 % of the studied buffers were considerably higher than in cropland soils. The subpar performance of buffers in retaining nutrient in the studied area can potentially be attributed to the fact that most of the overland flow is concentrated (rather than uniform sheet flow) via narrow fractions across buffers, and this occurs specifically during snowmelt when biogeochemical mechanisms (e.g., sorption, infiltration, plant and microbial assimilation) responsible for nutrient removal in buffers are limited. This study also revealed that the percentage of water extractable N and P released from various species subjected to 0, 3, or 6 freeze-thaw cycles varied from 6.13 to 68.90 % and 10.60–73.46 %, respectively. Future research efforts should focus on identifying alternative management measures that enhance nutrient removal during concentrated snowmelt runoff periods in these low-temperature areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 107512"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143166360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Climate change is reported to be a major threat to mountainous wetlands, and understanding how the hydrological functioning of wetlands responds to climate variability is important for the conservation and restoration of wetland ecosystems. The hydrological sensitivity of wetlands to climate variability is best analyzed using long-term observations, but observations of wetlands are rare, and long-term observations are not always easy to obtain due to cost. To address the lack of hydrological observations in these wetlands, this study devised a simple wetland-specific hydrological model, calibrated the model parameters using limited observations, and input long-term meteorological data into the model to produce long-term hydrological component data for wetlands. Using the long-term meteorological time series (i.e. precipitation and potential evapotranspiration), the produced time series of the hydrological components of the wetland (such as wetland water level and/or groundwater exchange between upland and wetland), and the concept of elasticity curves, the hydrological sensitivity of the wetland to precipitation and/or potential evapotranspiration was analyzed. The climate resilience of a wetland is defined as the rate of change of the wetland hydrological components for a 1 % change in climate variables, and from the percentile-based elasticity curve approach, the response of the wetland hydrological components to different percentiles of annual and/or seasonal climate variability was examined. The climate elasticity curves of the wetlands showed that different percentiles of hydrological components have different climate elasticities. In addition, the sensitivity of the climate elasticity to the physical characteristics of the wetland and/or wetland drainage area was assessed to see which hydrological components are affected by which physical characteristics at which percentile level. The sensitivity assessment showed that the climate elasticity of the two applied wetlands was most affected by changes in wetland area. This study provides an avenue for analyzing how the hydrological function of wetlands can be affected by changes in climate variables at annual or seasonal scales, and how much physical characteristics can influence the hydrological sensitivity of wetlands to climate variability, and the insights gained from these analyses can provide valuable information for the conservation and/or restoration of wetlands.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 107542"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143301801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To test shellfish settlement under altered hydrodynamics, we performed larval settlement experiments on tiles with either enhanced surface roughness (sandblasted concrete) or surface complexity (the addition of different configurations of ridges and grooves) relative to control (smooth and flat) tiles. We used particle image velocimetry (PIV) to understand how the hydrodynamics were altered by each tile design, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) particle modeling to determine if observed larval settlement patterns to complex tiles differed from the retention of modeled passive particles. The addition of surface roughness increased larval settlement and reduced the surface mean flow velocities when oyster shell was used as aggregate. Surface complexity created drastically different hydrodynamic conditions to flat control tiles, which aligned with increases in larval settlement for oysters and passive particle retention. Overall, fine scale hydrodynamics were influenced by both rough and complex surfaces that substantially increase particle retention, and likely also recruitment success.

We compared benthic invertebrate communities and riverbed conditions at upstream, reservoir, and downstream sites from seven FRDs in Japan. The average community similarity between the upstream and downstream sites across the seven dams was 0.73, comparable to unregulated streams. They were not related to the duration of dam operation, indicating minimal long-term impacts on downstream communities. However, the community similarity between the upstream and reservoir sites was notably lower, at 0.66. Reservoir sites had smaller grain sizes and softer substrates with narrower interstitial spaces than upstream sites. Consequently, taxes that inhabit or move across stone surfaces were more common in reservoirs. Conversely, taxa that prefer stable beds and larger body sizes were less frequent. Additionally, we found that reservoir sedimentation fluctuations, which indicates riverbed disturbance pattern, influence the similarity of invertebrate communities between upstream and downstream sites. To conclude, FRDs have negligible impacts on benthic invertebrate communities at DS sites; smaller grain sizes modulate these communities at RS sites.
