Abstract
Compares five emergent wetland plant species for their effectiveness in treating contaminants in a wetland system. The study researches the species' effectiveness in subsurface flow, open water, and free surface flow wetlands. Thalia geniculata was not as effective as the other species in treating contaminants but was capable of surviving and proliferating in extreme tropical climates.Suggested Citation
