“…This emphasizes that there are also other factors that are important to consider for obtaining high nutrient removal in created wetlands in agricultural catchments. These can be factors related to wetland design and biological composition [33][34][35][36][37][38], as well as concentrations and form of the nutrients in inflowing water or other factors related to catchment characteristics [6,23,27,32]. Further studies are needed to identify and evaluate the important factors affecting the nutrient removal efficiency of created wetlands in agricultural catchments.…”

During 2007During -2013, the Swedish Board of Agriculture granted support within a national program to about 1000 wetlands, corresponding to a 5300-hectare wetland area, with the dual goal to remove nutrients from water and to improve biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects on nutrient transports that are realized within the national program to what could be obtained with the same area of wetlands if location and design of wetlands were optimized. In single, highly nutrient-loaded wetlands, a removal of around 1000 kg nitrogen and 100 kg phosphorus per hectare wetland area and year was estimated from monitoring data. Statistical models were developed to estimate the overall nutrient removal effects of wetlands created within the national program. Depending on model, the effect of the national program as a whole was estimated to between 27 and 38 kg nitrogen and between 2.7 and 4.5 kg phosphorus per hectare created wetland area and year. Comparison of what is achieved in individual wetlands to what was achieved in the national program indicates that nutrient removal effects could be increased substantially in future wetland programs by emphasising location and design of wetlands.
