Abstract
⺠Plants improve the contaminant removal efficiency in the gravel CW. ⺠The hydroponic plant root mat achieves better contaminant removal than the planted gravel CW. ⺠Plants induce flow and thus contaminant flux into the root zone of the gravel CW. ⺠Local residence time distributions allow to observe dead zones and preferential flow paths.
