Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Constructed wetland is a comprehensive ecosystem. It applies the principle of species symbiosis, material recycling and regeneration in the ecosystem, and the principle of structure and function coordination. Under the premise of promoting the benign circulation of pollutants in wastewater, it enables the full range of the production potential of resources, prevents environmental re-pollution, and achieves the best benefits of sewage treatment and resource utilization.
In recent years, scholars have put forward many advanced techniques to solve the problems of constructed wetland, such as low purification efficiency in low-temperature seasons and poor long-term operation stability, which seriously affects the sustainable and stable performance of its functions. With the development of environmental problems, more challenges have been posed to constructed wetlands, such as carbon emission reduction, new pollutant treatment, etc. Therefore, I organized this Special Issue, hoping to publish the research results in more than the following aspects.
(1) Design and construction scheme of new constructed wetland and its effect on pollutant removal.
(2) The role of constructed wetland in the removal of new pollutants, and the migration and transformation of new pollutants in wetland system.
(3) Application of constructed wetland technology in the context of carbon neutral policy.
(4) The geochemical cycling of important substances or elements in constructed wetlands to promote pollutant removal.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
