Abstract: Microcystins (MCs) pollution caused by eutrophication and climate change has posed a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. Constructed wetlands (CWs) with biochar addition volume ratios of 0% (BC0-CWs), 10% (BC10-CWs), 20% (BC20-CWs) and 50% (BC50-CWs) were set up to evaluate the efficiency of biochar-amended CWs for eutrophication and MCs pollution control. The results illustrated that removal efficiencies of both NH
