A study of benthic invertebrate community and environmental factors of salty artifical wetlands

The objectives of this study are to investigate the biodiversity in different unit of treatment systems, and to detect the function in a salt water type of constructed wetland. We investigated the benthic invertebrate community in different stage from 2010 July to 2011 May, while the parameters of TKN, NH3-N, organic nitrogen, TP, TOC and particle size were measured in the sediments of each sampling site at the same time in the wetland system.
The results show that concentrations of organic matter and nutrients in the sediments were increased with time monthly. In May of 2010, the concentration of NH3-N were found the highest one(ANOVA, p<0.05). The particle size in sampling site 1 were the highest (ANOVA, p<0.05), while in November of 2010 all sampling sites were found exhibiting significantly different with other months (ANOVA, p<0.05). Further more, for the diversity of benthic invertebrate, we found that the parameter of the temperature was strongly negatively related to the species diversity, species abundance and species evenness, respectively (r=-387[H¡¦]¡F-533[d]¡F-438[J¡¦] ). The species diversity was increased with organic nitrogen concentrations in the sediments (r=0.492[TKN]¡F0.408[NH3-N]¡F0.493[org-N]), and were negatively related to the parameters of DO and particle size(r=-0.402[Particle size]¡F-0.287[DO] ). In addition, PCA shows that the parameters of particle size¡Borg-N¡BNH3-N¡BTKN and TOC were all important factors. Generally, it was concluded that the constructed systems, which is functioned of wetland was wastewater treatment mainly, exhibit no significant function in biodiversity.
