SUPPORTING INFORMATION Table S1 Synthetic wastewater composition and operation strategy for tidal flow constructed wetlands. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) was 36 h with 24 h for “wet” phase and 12 h for “dry” phase. Figure S1 Schematic diagram of tidal flow constructed wetland system. Figure S2 The photo of one perforated PVC pipe (left) and three highly permeable columns (right) that were used for microbial sampling. In each CW, two perforated PVC pipes (L × D = 100 × 5 cm2) harboring a total of eight columns (filled with the same bed material of CWs) that wrapped up by highly permeable nylon mesh were pre-buried for microbial sampling. Figure S3 Nitrogen transformation rates in the tidal flow constructed wetlands: (a) T1, NH4+ and (b) T2, NO3-. The positive values of TN, NH4+, and NO3- indicate that they were transformed (reduced) in the systems, whereas the negative values of NO2- and NH4+ indicate that they accumulated (increased) in the systems.
