| potential use of mangroves as constructed wetland for municipal sewage treatment in futian, shenzhen, china. | a pilot-scale mangrove wetland was constructed in futian, shenzhen for municipal sewage treatment. three identical belts (length: 33m, width: 3m, depth: 0.5m) were filled with stone (bottom), gravel and mangrove sand (surface). seedlings of two native mangrove species (kandelia candel, aegiceras corniculatum) and one exotic species (sonneratia caseolaris) were transplanted to the belts with one species for each belt. the hydraulic loading was 5m(3)d(-1) and hydraulic retention time 3d. high leve ... | 2008 | 18342338 |
| [leaf decomposition of two species in a mangrove community in futian of shenzhen]. | using litter bags, the authors studied the dynamics of dry weight and organic c, n and p of leaves of two species (kandelia candel, aegiceras corniculatum) in a mangrove community in shenzhen during their decomposition in situ. leaves of k. candel degraded more rapidly than those of a. corniculatum. for a. corniculatum, it needed 35 days to lose half initial ash-free dry weights (afdw) of the leaves, while for k. candel, only 12 days. despite the difference in loss rate of litter bags with the t ... | 2001 | 11813429 |
