Effects of plant species in a horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland – phytoremediation of treated urban wastewater with Cyperus alternifolius L. and Typha latifolia L. in the West of Sicily (Italy)
TL;DR: In this paper, two emergent macrophytes (Cyperus alternifolius L. and Typha latifolia L. ) were compared in a pilot horizontal subsurface flow system for the phytoremediation of treated urban wastewater in the West of Sicily (Italy).
