The first workshop bearing the title “Nutrient Cycling in Natural and Constructed Wetlands” was organized at Trˇebonˇ, South Bohemia, in September 1995. The major organizing principle was to bring together scientists and researchers dealing with both natural and constructed wetlands; the majority of previous wetland conferences and seminars on these topics had been held separately. The first edition of this seminar was attended mostly by people dealing with co
