Life cycle assessment of a constructed wetland in a rural tourism facility with biomass valorization
. These results indicate that CWs integrating wastewater treatment with biomass management can function as resource-efficient, low-input sanitation infrastructures for rural tourism settings, while highlighting biomass composting as a key modelled hotspot and optimization pathway in life-cycle-based evaluations of nature-based solutions.
