Abstract
Open water unit process wetlands have demonstrated efficient nitrate removal through biological processes in a naturally colonizing, benthic biomat. However, it remains unclear how long term accretion impacts system hydraulics and performance, as well as how primary productivity and respiration influence treatment dynamics over day and night periods. The purpose of this study is to investigate (i) the depth distribution of nitrogen removal processes in a mature open water wetland biomat, with potential applications to harvest biomat material for agriculture, and (ii) the microbial ecology of the biomat to determine how microbial metabolisms influence the diel functionality and broader sustainability (i.e., greenhouse gas emissions) of this unique wetland design.
