Abstract

Introduction Plant richness is thought to improve the function of constructed wetlands (CWs), but most CWs are planted with monocultures, with only a few employed polycultures, which have drawn contradictory conclusions. We suppose functional diversity is the key to better performance of plant communities and hypothesize that CWs planted with diverse growth forms are superior in plant growth and nutrient removal. Methods In this study, six emergent plant species categorized into slender type ( Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, Typha orientalis ), fan type ( Iris sibirica, Acorus calamus ) and la
