Simulation and Optimization of a Constructed Wetland for Biomass Production and Nitrate Removal
… cultivation of perennial grasses for bio-ethanol production. Constructed wetlands offer a promising nutrient removal mechanism while also providing an ideal environment for the growth of such grasses. In the present work, a hypothetical wetland system is designed to treat non-point source nutrient …

Biomass production using short rotation coppice techniques on two coal spoil tips in South Wales
Short rotation biomass trials were undertaken on two reclaimed coal tips (Bryn Pica and Fforchwen) in the Cynon Valley of South Wales. Three species - Populus interamericana 'Beaupre', Alnus glutinosa and Salix cinerea – were grown with five experimental treatments, these being control, NPK, broom …
