File Name : Diffuse water pollution from Agriculture: A review of nature-based solutions for nitrogen removal and recovery. Mancuso et al. (2021), 22 pgs.

This paper describes the main mechanisms by which nitrogen is removed from agricultural wastewater and details the effectiveness of 4 important forms of NBS in nitrogen uptake and attenuation, namely: Constructed Wetlands, Riparian Buffer Strips, Vegetated Channels and Water Sediment Control Basins. The paper also describes recent research on the harvesting of nitrogen captured in NBS such as the harvesting of duckweed from ponds receiving agricultural wastewater and processing the duckweed to produce animal feed and fertiliser.
