How does a wetland remove nutrients from water?
When nitrogen-rich water enters a wetland, the nitrogen comes in contact with millions of bacteria that grow in “bio-films” on plants, rocks, and other surfaces in the wetland. These bacteria convert the nitrogen in the water to nitrogen gas. This inert gas is released harmlessly into the atmosphere, which is 78% nitrogen.
