A little study of emergent plant density and surface area in constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment. Why do we care? Because when free surface wetlands are used for water treatment, the volume is an important parameter and some of that volume is taken up by the emergent plants; and because these plants offer a large, fractal surface area for the growth of helpful microorganisms, just like in a trickling filter.
