Content - Summary
Constructed wetlands are a cost-effective, nature-orientated alternative for wastewater
treatment that can be used in nearly all regions worldwide from cold/boreal to
tropical conditions. Thus, a lot of various treatment wetland systems are in operation
throughout the world that use a great variety of different and indigenous plant species
that are adapted to the prevailing climatic conditions. This thesis aims to provide a
systematic overview of suitable emergent wetland plants (macrophytes) for all regions
and climate zones worldwide, and further on, it suggests alternative species
that have not found a widespread use in constructed wetlands until present.
