Evapotranspiration affecting redox conditions in horizontal constructed wetlands under Mediterranean climate: Influence of plant species

- Evapotranspiration and redox potential in mesocosms horizontal wetlands was assessed.
- Vegetation was the main design parameter affecting water loss within the wetlands.
- Typha angustifolia spent more water than Phragmites australis but more efficiently.
- Redox increased as evapotranspiration but with a stronger relationship for cattail.
- Evapotranspiration and redox state are plant species-dependent.
