Managing Greenhouse Gas Exchange in a Constructed Wetland Model
| Division: | Earth & Environmental Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Bay Area | | City: | Hamilton, ON | | School: | Bishop Ryan Catholic Secondary School | | Abstract: | A constructed wetland is a human-made swamp or marsh built to filter water contaminants. Although they are efficient and cost-effective, wetlands release large quantities of greenhouse gases. The purpose of this experiment was to reduce gas quantities emitted by a wetland model by managing the factors affecting wetland gas exchange. |
