Constructed wetlands are engineered systems that harness plants, soil, and organisms to treat wastewater through processes that mimic natural wetland ecosystems. In plant science, they represent an important intersection of plant physiology and ecological engineering, demonstrating how vegetation can absorb nutrients and remove contaminants through phytoremediation while supporting biogeochemical cycling. This research underscores the potential of plants in sustainable environmental management and bioremediation applications.
