Phytotechnology implementation in marine and freshwater environments: case stud...
Octaviano, Ana L.; Nawaz, N.; Pereira, S.; IIarri, M.; Magalhães, J.; Calheiros, C.Phytotechnologies are plant-based approaches that solve or complement the solution of environmental problems, by remediating soil, water, and air or restoring ecosystem services in managed landscapes. Floating treatment wetlands (FWIs) are examples of a phytotechnology, also named nature-based solution, that provides water treatment and management with low capital costs, high success rate, low maintenance requi...

Octaviano, A. L.; Nawaz, N.; Magalhães, J.; Pereira, S.; IIarri, M.; Gomes, C. R.; Imbernon, R.; Calheiros, C.Environmental biotechnology, such as bioremediation and phytoremediation, is a promising field that uses natural resources, including microorganisms and plants, to eliminate toxic organic contaminants from water, soils and air (Calheiros et al. 2020). This technology offers an attractive alternative to other conventional remediation processes due to its relatively low cost and environmentally friendly method. I...

Biodiversity associated to a floating wetland island in a freshwater pond
Calheiros, C. S. C.; IIarri, M.; Godinho, M.; Castro, P. M. L.; Pereira, S. I. A.Floating wetland islands (FWI) are considered nature-based solutions that can be applied in different water bodies, such as lakes and rivers, in order to deliver a wide range of ecosystem services. They are recognized to promote local biodiversity, aesthetic integration and provide water quality enhancement through phytoremediation processes, although research is still needed to go deeper on the processes under...
