Summary: This study found that Integrated Constructed Wetlands (ICWs) are effective in removing critically important antimicrobial resistant organisms (AROs) from farm wastewater, with significant differences in the number of AROs isolated between influent and effluent and a seasonal effect on ARO recovery. There were no significant differences in ARO recovery among different farm types, but multi drug resistance was common among isolates from all farms, with high levels of resistance to certain antibiotics varying between farms.

Summary: This study evaluated the removal of micropollutants in constructed wetlands with different configurations. The use of bark-biochar as a support matrix significantly enhanced the removal of irbesartan and carbamazepine. UVC irradiation as a pre-treatment was more effective in removing micropollutants than sunlight irradiation. After INC pre-treatment, less micropollutants accumulated in the plants in the subsequent wetland unit. The addition of activated sludge and aeration did not improve micropollutant removal. A bark-biochar based system combined with UVC pre-treatment showed better micropollutant removal than a conventional sand wetland.

Summary: In this study, lab-scale iron-carbon microelectrolysis constructed wetlands (Fe-C CWs) were used to purify secondary effluent. By filling with iron scraps and granular biochar, and amending walnut shells or pyrite as electron donors, the Fe-C CWs exhibited remarkable nutrient removal and reduced iron consumption. Additionally, the addition of organic or inorganic electron donors further enhanced nutrient removal and mitigated the global warming potential of the Fe-C CWs.

Summary: This study investigated the sorption characteristics of natural manganese ore (NM) and its removal efficiency of ammonium and phosphorus from WWTP effluent in a simulated vertical flow NM constructed wetland (NM-VFCW). The results showed that NM could effectively sorb ammonium and phosphorus with a high removal efficiency, particularly for phosphorus. The manganese ore sand is highlighted as a powerful substrate for simultaneous advanced removal of phosphorus and ammonium in constructed wetland systems.

Summary: This study constructed an effluent recirculation vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands system for treating landfill leachate. The results showed that the wetlands system effectively removed organic pollutants in the leachate, with over 85% removal rate for conventional pollutants and relatively high removal rates for organic micro-pollutants such as OCPs, OPPs, PAHs, and VOCs.

Summary: This study proposes an approach based on multi-source data fusion to predict pollutant concentrations in the effluent of constructed wetlands. Four representative methods were established, and a moving average method was used to improve the accuracy of traditional and hybrid neural networks. The results suggest that the LSTM-predicting model performs significantly better than other models, indicating the feasibility of combining intelligent data preprocessing methods with deep learning algorithms for water quality prediction.

Summary: Constructed wetlands (CWs) are engineered systems that utilize natural processes for wastewater treatment. CWs take advantage of processes found in natural wetlands, but operate in a more controlled environment. They can be classified based on the presence/absence of wastewater on the wetland surface, and the direction of subsurface flow. Hybrid CWs combine different types of CW technologies. The use of CWs for wastewater treatment gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s due to stricter regulations and the application of CWs in circular economy concepts.

Summary: Increasing generation and indiscriminate disposal of wastewater pose risks to human and animal health. Constructed wetlands, as a low-cost and easy-to-operate alternative treatment system, can effectively remove pollutants from wastewater. This study examined the use of constructed wetlands for treating hospital wastewater and found that Typha latifolia was particularly efficient in removing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

Summary: The effluents from fish farms are highly fertile for irrigation. This study aimed to evaluate the clogging rate of a drip irrigation system using effluent from a rainbow trout farm. Results showed that the clogging rate varied depending on the emitter type and discharge, with N4 showing the best performance and N12 and M8 showing the highest sensitivity to clogging. Overall, it is possible to use rainbow trout effluent in a drip irrigation system with pressure compensating emitters.

Summary: This study investigated the use of sewage sludge and cattail litter as raw materials to prepare biochar, which was then used as filling materials in constructed wetlands (CWs) to enhance the treatment of secondary effluent. The results showed that the biochar-filled CWs had better removal efficiency for total nitrogen and phosphorus compared to the control group. The biochar also reduced nitrous oxide emissions and promoted the activities of key enzymes involved in pollutant removal. High-throughput sequencing revealed the enrichment of microorganisms related to nitrogen removal in the biochar-filled CWs. This research demonstrates the potential for energy-saving treatment and waste resource recovery in wastewater treatment plants.

Summary: The study found that two large-scale multi-stage CW systems in Tianjin, China, had an MP removal efficiency of over 89.0%, reducing the abundance from 8.4-28.9 particles/L to 0.2-0.9 particles/L. Different treatment processes, such as HSSFCWs and VFCWs, showed higher efficiency in MP removal, while SFCW also played a role in removing MPs from the effluent.

Summary: This study evaluates the use of bamboo species as an alternative in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment through bibliometric analysis and case study review. The study reveals the potential benefits of using bamboos in wastewater treatment, such as hyperaccumulation capacity and bioproduct generation, and identifies other promising applications. Despite promising results, further research is needed to investigate the morphological functions of bamboos in wastewater treatment with landscape integration and resource recovery.

Summary: In this study, melatonin was added to constructed wetland systems to investigate its effects on plant physiology, microbial enzyme activity, and microbial community structure. The results showed that melatonin treatment improved the stress tolerance and nutrient content of Phragmites australis plants, and increased the removal efficiency of NH4+-N in the constructed wetlands. Melatonin also altered the microbial composition and functions, leading to improved purification effect of the constructed wetland.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.

The chip enabled the parallel analysis of six genetic markers from a single sample and allowed for the highly automated detection of multiple samples. Compared with PCR and DNA sequencing, the on-chip RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting multiple pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.
