| dc.description.abstract | Floating Treatment Wetlands (FTWs) are nature-based solutions(NbS) that have gained increasing attention over the past decades for their effectiveness, low cost, and minimal maintenance requirements in improving water quality across diverse aquatic environments. One of the key ecosystem services provided by FTWs is the promotion of biodiversity, especially in environments degraded by human activity, creating habitats, refuges and nursery areas for diverse aquatic and terrestrial organisms. In this context, the present project aims to implement innovative natural engineering solutions to mitigate the effects of anthropogenic pressure and promote greater biodiversity within aquatic ecosystems. Additionally, it demand to enhance the valorization of local ecosystems and ensure equitable access to scientific knowledge.Two vegetated floating islands (4m² each) were installed in the Fervença River (Bragança, Portugal). The islands were constructed using cork agglomerate and recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) as buoyant materials and vegetated with three plants species to enhance ecological performance. | eng |
