  3. 2. Emission of greenhouse gases from constructed wetlands : Nutrient status in relation to methane and nitrous oxide emission

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Christian Lundström; [2022]
    Keywords : Constructed wetland; greenhouse gas emission; nutrient status; ebullition; Anlagd våtmark; växthusgasutsläpp; näringsstatus; ebullition;
