Do wetlands engineered for water-quality treatment function in ways that provide benefits for biodiversity, similar to Iowa’s natural wetlands? A research project led by Charlie Loewen, assistant professor in the department of ecology, evolution and organismal biology at Iowa State University, is trying to better understand those systems, their potential benefits and unintended consequences, with support from the Iowa Nutrient Research Center.
