Natural and constructed wetlands play a very important role within the landscape and their ecological services are highly valuable. Water management, including flood water retention, biomass production, carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment and as a biodiversity source are among the most important ecological services of wetlands. In order to provide these services, wetlands need to be properly evaluated, protected and maintained. This book provides results of the latest research in wetland science around the world. Chapters deal with such topics as the use of constructed wetlands for treatment of various types of wastewater, use of constructed wetlands in agroforestry, wetland hydrology and evapotranspiration, the effect of wetlands on landscape temperature, and chemical properties of wetland soils.

Natural and constructed wetlands play a very important role on the landscape and their ecological services are highly valuable. In fact, some wetland types are regarded as one of the most valuable ecosystems on the Earth. Water management, including flood water retention, biomass production, carbon sequestration, wastewater treatment and biodiversity sources, are among the most important ecological services of wetlands. The book is aimed at the use of constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment and for the evaluation of various ecosystem services of natural wetlands. Special attention is paid to the role and potential use of wetlands on the agricultural landscape. The book presents up-to-date results of ongoing research and the content of the book could be used by wetland scientists, researchers, engineers, designers, regulators, decision-makers, universities teachers, landscape engineers and landscape planners as well as by water authorities, water regulatory offices or wastewater treatment research institutions.

African papyrus (Cyperus papyrus L.) wetlands provide water, food and materials to millions of people, and perform important landscape functions such as water and nutrient storage, habitat provision for fish, birds and other wildlife. They are also an integral part of the culture of African wetland communities. With an increasing demand for food, papyrus wetlands are at risk of conversion to agriculture and losing these ecosystem services. Combining increased agricultural production with wetland conservation is urgently needed. The research presented in this book consisted of two parts. First, field experiments investigated nitrogen and phosphorus retention, showing that papyrus grows faster with disturbance from human activities or flooding, but produces less biomass and stores less nutrients. Then, a dynamic simulation model (Papyrus Simulator) based on the hydrological and ecological wetland processes showed that assimilation, mortality, decay, re-translocation, nutrient inflow and soil porosity were the most influential factors. The model demonstrated that controlled harvesting can increase nutrient retention by up to 40%, but overharvesting leads to the release of nutrients. These findings can help determining optimum harvesting strategies for constructed and natural wetlands, and contribute to the quantification of ecosystem services and an evidence-based adaptive management approach for African wetland landscapes.

This volume resulted from the workshop entitled "Nutrient Cycling and Retention in Natural and Constructed Wetlands IV" which was held at Trebon, Czech Republic, on September 26 to 29, 2001. This time we selected the title "Wetlands -- Nutrients, Metals and Mass Cycling" in order to avoid confusion with the previous proceedings which resulted from the workshop of the same title (Nutrient Cycling and Retention in Natural and Constructed Wetlands", Backhuys Publishers, 1999 and "Trans-for-mations of Nutrients in Natural and Constructed Wetlands", Backhuys Publishers, 2001). Another factor which influenced the title of this book is the fact that despite keeping the workshop title, other topics have been discussed in the workshop recently. These topics include, for example, heavy metals retention, removal and compartmentalization, reed beds for sludge dewatering, the influence of watershed management on mass cycling or the use of GIS for wetland evaluation. The workshop was planned, similar to three preceding workshops in 1995, 1997 and 1999 to provide an opportunity for scientists working on functioning constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment to meet scientists studying processes occurring in natural wetland ecosystems. The idea of bringing both groups of scientists together proved again to be very useful and we believe that both groups benefited from the exchange of experience. The workshop was organized by Jan Vymazal (Prague) and Jan Pokorn (Institute of Botany, Czech Academy of Sciences and ENKI o.p.s., Trebon) and was supported by grant MSM 000020001 "Solar Energetics of Natural and Tech-no-lo-gi-cal Systems" from the Ministry of Education and Youth of the Czech Republic. The workshop was attended by participants from 13 countries from Europe, Australia, Asia and North and South Americas. This book includes 21 refereed contributions out of 30 papers which were presented during the seminar. All papers also include discussion taped after each presentation and then "recovered" by the editor.

Artificial or constructed wetlands are an emerging technology particularly for tropical areas with water scarcity. For big cities, the sustainable management of water resources taking into account proper use is always challenging. The book presents case studies illustrating the above. As plants and microorganisms are a fundamental part of the correct functioning of these systems, their contribution to the degradation of the organic matter and to the removal and transformation of the pollutant compounds present in the wastewaters is also a highlight of this book.

This volume discusses contemporary techniques, technologies, and solutions for industrial wastewater remediation and treatment. It covers biological, chemical, and physical aspects of wastewater treatment, with a background on the generation of wastewater associated with different industries, as well as a comparison of traditional treatment technologies with new advancements. The authors also describe the reuse and recovery of nutrients and precious metals from wastewater, and how such sustainable strategies can be incorporated into industrial wastewater planning and legislation. The book also contains practical and theoretical aspects of various industries and their wastewater management practices in a changing climate, with an emphasis on recent research examining the environmental impact of wastewater. The work will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers studying wastewater pollution and remediation, wastewater management-based NGOs, and people involved in the planning and legislation of industrial operations.
