Interest about interactions between microplastics and organisms is on the rise.
The quantification of micro- and nanoplastics in environmental matrices is an analytical challenge and pushes to the use of unrealistic high exposure concentrations in laboratory studies which can lea
Common soil characteristics, nutrients and microbial activity at deeper soil depths are topics seldom covered in agricultural studies.
Global biodiversity targets have far-reaching implications for nature conservation worldwide.
Microplastics are widespread contaminants, virtually present in all environmental compartments.
Although the effects of nitrogen (N) fertilization on soil microflora have been well studied, the effects should be verified across soil types and N-added levels.
Bivalve habitats were once a dominant ecosystem in temperate and subtropical estuaries worldwide.
