Floating reedbeds are artificial or natural systems consisting of buoyancy and reeds. Plants including rice and wheat can be cultivated on floating reedbeds.[1] The primary purpose of artificial floating reedbeds is to improve water quality through biofiltration, preventing algal blooms through denitrification and plant nutrient uptake, with a secondary benefit of habitat provision. Modern floating reedbeds are increasingly being used by local government and land managers to improve water quality at source, reducing pollutants in surface water bodies and providing biodiversity habitat.
