Multi-service assessment of intertidal treatment wetlands

本项目旨在研究利用人工潮间带湿地减少氮污染，同时提供包括碳封存和生物多样性在内的共同效益。与传统的污水处理方法相比，本研究将对潮间带处理湿地的服务、危害和成本效益进行全面评估。预期的结果包括对新城市发展中的人工处理湿地进行全面的多学科环境和经济评估，为工业和政府合作伙伴提供所需的知识，以扩大潮间带湿地的吸收，作为一种具有成本效益的解决方案，以应对日益严重的沿海人为污染。

This project aims to investigate the use of constructed intertidal wetlands to reduce nitrogen pollution while providing co-benefits including carbon sequestration and biodiversity. This research will generate a holistic assessment of the services, disservices, and cost-effectiveness of intertidal treatment wetlands compared to traditional wastewater treatment approaches. Expected outcomes include a full-scale multi-disciplinary environmental and economic assessment of a constructed treatment wetland in a new urban development, providing industry and government partners the knowledge required to broaden uptake of intertidal wetlands as a cost-effective solution to growing levels of coastal anthropogenic pollution.
