Statistical analysis of nitrogen in the soil of constructed wetland with horizontal sub-surface flow

Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 12

Abstract

The removal of nitrogen compounds in constructed wetlands depends on various physical, chemical and biomechanical factors as well as on conditions of the environment. The paper presents the results of a statistical analysis of the depositing of nitrogen at HSSF (horizontal subsurface flow) construcred wetland. The results of the substrate showed that the highest contents of nitrogen existed in the surface soil layer up to 20 cm of the depth. Nitrogen accumulation decreased in the deposit with depth, and in the direction of the wastewater flow.
