Study on Water Purification Effect of Different Plants in Constructed Wetland of South China by YANG Yongmin, SUN Yiting

“…Constructed wetlands feature low operating costs and investment,no secondary pollution,good landscape effects,and fast results in short construction periods.In the construction of constructed wetlands,plants play an extremely important role in the purification of sewage from wetlands.To screen suitable wetland plants under the climatic conditions in south China,this paper studies the adaptability of plants to low-concentration domestic sewage and determines the purification efficiency of pollutants and the relationship between the activity of root-zone matrix enzymes and purification efficiency.The test results reveal that rushes,river grass,heliconia,and shell ginger are obviously not suitable for the simulated constructed wetland environment irrigated by sewage,while pickerelweed,cattails,calamus,elephant grass,coix,and windmill grass grow fast and have large biomass,which are suitable for planting in sewage environment.Considering indicators such as the adaptability,purification ability,stress resistance,and landscape effect of the tested wetland plants to the sewage environment,it is concluded that the elephant grass,calamus,cattails,coix,windmill grass,calla,philodendrons,Echinodorus Osiris,and pickerelweed are more suitable for the constructed wetland system.There is a significant correlation between the phosphatase activity and urease and the COD_Cr removal rate of potted plants,and the enzyme activity of the root-zone matrix urease is not significantly correlated with the TN removal rate and TP removal rate of potted plants.…”

Le territoire limnique, une alternative à la gouvernance des plans d’eau par masses d’eau ? by Pascal Bartout, Laurent Touchart

“…The widening of limnological science to cover man-made lakes, ponds and other wetlands (instead of the only referring to lakes) opens new perspectives in the broader context of the role of water within the climatic fluctuations. Thereby gaining a broader understanding of the morphological and spatial diversity of the lentic corpus, it becomes possible to observe both systemic and spatial discontinuities and hence to discuss their origins or palimpsest character. …”

Un continente da manuale: tassonomie della contraddizione nell'Africa del dopoguerra by Jacopo Galli, Filippo De Dominicis

“…Si procederà all’esame di tre casi studio: Village Housing in the Tropics with Special Reference to West Africa, di Edwin Maxwell Fry e Jane Drew (1947); Tropical Architecture in the Dry and Humid Zones, sempre di Fry e Drew (1964); e Manual of Tropical Housing and Building: Climatic design, di Otto Koenigsberger (1964). Attraverso l’analisi comparata dei tre casi si tenterà di descrivere la logica equivoca del manuale: post-politica e contestualmente organica al dettato della modernizzazione; attenta ai localismi eppure federativa; capace di rispondere alle ambizioni dei singoli e al tempo stesso funzionale all’implementazione di politiche di controllo collettivo. …”
