Constructed Wetlands for Tannery Wastewater Treatment in Portugal: Ten Years of Experience

The present review compiles and integrates information on CWs technology for the needs of the tannery sector, giving indication that horizontal subsurface flow systems, with expanded clay media, are a suitable option to be considered when dealing with high organic loading tannery wastewater.

The mycorrhizal status of Phragmites australis in several polluted soils and sediments of an industrialised region of Northern Portugal

The results confirm that semi-aquatics, like P. australis, can become arbuscular mycorrhizal but that this status changes during the year depending on soil moisture content and plant phenology.
