From 12-14 June 2013, the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (Helmholtz-Zentrum fuer Umweltforschung – UFZ) hosted a three-day workshop in Leipzig, Germany. The format of the UFZ Wetland Workshop was different from that of a traditional conference. During 90-minute blocks of time (eight blocks in total over two days) where we had the opportunity for a 30-minute presentation followed by a 60-minute discussion session on specific topics related to wetlands.

Summaries of six sessions on various aspects of treatment wetland research and implementation as well as a report on discussions and observations of yellowing reeds in treatment wetlands are included in Issue 18 of SSP.
