Constructed wetlands with Phragmites australis plants are better at removing pollutants like ammonia and organic matter in winter. This is because these plants support a higher number and variety of helpful microbes compared to wetlands with Typha orientalis plants. So, if you want cleaner water in winter, go for wetlands with Phragmites australis!
