Popis: Since low oxygen supplement rate in subsurface flow constructed wetland was a critical obstacle to bacterial nitrification process, a novel tidal unsaturated constructed wetland (CWTU) realized by the siphon effluent pipe was proposed in this study to overcome the problem and strengthen the pollutants removal. Four CWTUs were constructed with different ratios of tidal unsaturated section to constant saturated section (80: 0, 60: 20, 50: 30 and 30: 50). Results showed that the NH4+-N removal efficiency increased with the increasing ratio of tidal unsaturated section to constant saturated section. Among which, CWTU1 significantly enhanced the oxygen supplement from air to wastewater, and the subsequent removal efficiencies of NH4+-N (51.04 ± 6.99 % in CWTU1), and COD (89.90 ± 2.10 % in CWTU1) compared with traditional wetland (NH4+-N 12.96 ± 5.26 %, COD 65.30 ± 10.08 %) (p
