Growth of Phragmites australis and Phalaris arundinacea in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment in the Czech Republic

Original language description

Phragmites australis and Phalaris arundinacea are two most commonly used plant species in constructed wetlands (CW) for wastewater treatment in the Czech Rep. Growth characteristics of both plants have been measured in 13 horizontal sub-surface flow CW since 1992. The results revealed that while Phalaris usually reaches its maximum biomass as early as during the second growing season, Phragmites usually reaches its maximum only after three to four growing seasons. The maximum biomass of both species varies widely among systems and the highest measured values (5070 g/m2 for Phragmites and 1900 g/m2 for Phalaris) are similar to those found in eutrophic natural stands. The shoot count of Phragmites decreases after the second growing season while length and weight of individ. shoots increases over time due to self-thinning process. Number of Phalaris shoots is the highest during the 2nd season and then the shoot count remains about the same. Also the shoot length remains steady over years
